The Private Member's Bill, brought forward by Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn, endured a day of strong debate at Queen's Park on Thursday, but was ultimately carried and has now been referred to a standing committee on justice policy. The bill would allow the victims of handgun shootings, or their families, to bring legal action against the handgun's manufacturer or importer in cases where negligence could be proven on their part. Under this proposed legislation the government of Ontario would also be allowed to go after the handgun manufacturers and importers to recover the cost of health care benefits used to help shooting victims. "For too long handgun manufactures and distributors have hidden behind the fallacy that their product was merely for sport. In the meantime they saturated the streets with weapons that have been the cause of too many murders and too many spinal cord injuries," said Bill Adair, Executive Director of the Canadian Paraplegic Association of Ontario. "The economic and social cost to Ontario has been far too great and it has to stop." Not everyone, however, believes Flynn's bill goes about this the right way with members of the Oakville and District Rod and Gun Club voicing concerns that Flynn's bill targets the wrong people by going after the handgun manufacturers when it's the criminals who are to blame. Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop also pointed out the difficulty victims will face in trying to sue a handgun manufacturer based in Africa, Asia or a European country. "Who is going to help them with their legal costs? That's my first question. It could be absolutely impossible to even consider what the cost of that might be," he said. "To actually sue someone in another country who manufactured a gun, probably in good faith, and someone illegally imported it into our country and someone shoots somebody, like Mrs. (Louise) Russo. Who is going to help them with the lawsuits?"
