Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the privilege to present a petition on behalf of over 1,000 constituents from the Prince George-Peace River riding.
They call upon the House of Commons to repeal Bill C-17, the most recent amendment to part III of the Criminal Code.
These citizens believe that gun control legislation was sufficient prior to the Bill C-17 amendments and that the bill has placed undue restrictions on law abiding gun owners instead of focusing on the punishment of those who criminally misuse firearms. I am very pleased to support the petition.
