Madam Speaker, I would like to put forth the following petitions. The first petition is from people in my riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca requesting that Parliament refuse to accept the justice minister's anti-firearms proposals. They insist that he bring forth legislation to convict and punish criminals rather than persecute the innocent. I concur with that.
In the House of Commons on December 7th, 1994. See this statement in context.
