Let me start at the end, and if we have time, I'll come back to the first part of your question, Mr. Noormohamed, because I think the latter is very important.
As part of this work, it is extremely important that we talk to Canadians and that we listen to them. People come from many different walks of life when it comes to the responsible use of firearms. We have hunters, sport shooters and communities within first nations and indigenous communities. We have listened very carefully to them and, to be perfectly honest with you, the majority understand what the government is striving to achieve here, which is safer communities, by excluding guns that were designed for wartime and have no recreational purpose.
Going forward, I think that if we anchor this debate in facts, if we have a discussion that is civil and if we do not resort to disinformation—the kind of disinformation that crowds out anybody, not only in spaces like this, but online.... It is next to impossible to have a conversation or a debate about firearms legislation online. That is because of the toxicity that is being driven by special interests that have no desire to have a responsible debate, but rather see this as a binary choice between having responsible laws that protect Canadians from gun violence and virtually no laws at all.
I think that is one of the most important reflections that we as parliamentarians have to continue to use to inform the way we do this work.
