Madam Speaker, I have a petition that received very extensive support in my riding. It reminds the government that maintenance and use of firearms is currently heavily controlled under existing legislation in this country. It calls upon Parliament to institute legislation to protect the peaceful private ownership, maintenance and use of such firearms, including but not excluding such events as controlled hunting, sport shooting and the collecting of firearms.
In the House of Commons on December 7th, 1994. See this statement in context.
