As Madame Boivin said, I suppose we're looking for a governor's pardon here at the eleventh hour. We're looking for the Conservatives to understand that the mandate they were given by Canadians, by law-abiding hunters and farmers, was not a mandate to let more guns like this into society. This isn't the gun that Candice and I have talked about. This isn't the gun that can kill somebody at two and a half kilometres, pierce Kevlar armour, and is designed for light armoured vehicles. This is another thing.
We're pleading with the government. We know they have a certain focus and ideology when it comes to the registry, and that's fine. They campaigned on one piece, but they didn't campaign on this. They didn't get a mandate from the Canadian public for this. You're associating law-abiding gun owners with this, and that's not right.
We can make this change. Let's make this change as a committee right now. This is within your power. We're pleading, but we're also deeply concerned about the consequences of what this committee is about to do and what Parliament is about to do, in terms of the health and safety of the people we represent.
