"On what", the minister asks of me. Unfortunately she did not hear what I said. Let me reiterate it because it is that important.
Our party said that we would give unanimous consent to an amendment to the Criminal Code to get rid of the drunkenness defence immediately. If the minister is sincere, if she is serious about making sure that violence is not perpetrated on other people in our society, especially people whom they know and ultimately care about, surely we could pass that amendment now. That would be true action. I think nothing would speak louder than an amendment to the Criminal Code.
I urge the secretary of state to listen to Canadians and to push the Minister of Justice to introduce an amendment to the Criminal Code.
My colleagues across are saying "What about gun control?". Yes, gun control for the people who are abusing guns and making sure that those people pay the price. This needs to be done now.
