Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I agree less with my Conservative colleagues on your commitment to firearms. You promised to ban assault weapons, but we see that some models are still on sale. I am thinking, for example, of the Remington ACR, which has aspects quite similar to the AR-15. There's also the SKS, which looks a lot like the AK-47, except that it has a fixed magazine. These weapons are still unrestricted at the moment, and many others fall between the regulatory cracks.
The problem is that your government has chosen to legislate on the most popular or frequently used weapons, instead of clearly defining what assault weapons are and banning them all at once. You are reacting to tragedies, such as the one that occurred in Nova Scotia, instead of acting preventatively and taking the time to do the right thing.
By banning the most frequently used models, people may turn to other models that can do the job just as well. Don't you think this makes your measure completely useless?
