October 19, 1994 Toronto lawyer inherited full agenda during first year as Justice Minister Asked about the recent shootâ€" ing on Hwy. 401, Rock said, it was a symptom of the problem of not knowing where guns are in the country. (Continued from page 1) gun owners that the government wants to take away their guns, he responds, "Registration is not the first step to confiscation." "We have to have a better handle on where these guns are. People should not be driving on the 401 in jeeps with guns." As well as the national regisâ€" tration plan (registration is now required only for handguns and certain restricted weapons), he wants to limit access to ammuâ€" nition, ban military assault weapons, and increase the senâ€" tences for those who use guns while committing crimes. Getting caught in the crossâ€" fire of gun control is just one of the many areas of controversy the rookie justice minister has become involved in since his appointment. He will be drafting new legislation governing child support, child abuse, street prosâ€" titution, and adding sexual oriâ€" entation to the grounds for disâ€" crimination as prohibited by the Human Rights Act.

He also plans to tighten up the Young Offender‘s Act to double the sentence for offendâ€" ers. "There are actually more incarcerations," he said. The new law outlining tougher meaâ€" sures include one where jail will be a last resort measure.

On the day of the proâ€"gun rally on Parliament Hill, Brown said she and a number of other MP‘s listened to Rock as he talked to the gun owners. Rock, for his part, spoke about the new responsibilities and the enormous change from practicing law just a year ago. Rock was elected MP for the riding of Etobicoke Centre and appointed justice minister on Nov. 4th, 1993. Prior to his elecâ€" tion, Rock was a Toronto trial lawyer.
