Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the honour to present a petition which states in part that the justice minister is proposing anti-firearms legislation that will do virtually nothing to reduce violent crime but will severely restrict the rights and freedoms of millions of innocent firearms owners, contrary to the very principles of justice upon which this great country of ours is based. The petitioners insist that he bring forth legislation to convict and punish criminals rather than persecute the innocent.
In the House of Commons on November 30th, 1994. See this statement in context.
