Mr. Speaker, I would like to get back to the issue of gun control which the justice minister says enjoys such wide support.
Opposition to Bill C-68 continues to grow: 100 per cent of the chiefs in the province of Saskatchewan are opposed, 85 per cent of the RCMP in Alberta, justice ministers in four provinces and territories.
Does the justice minister not realize he is destroying the trust people have in the criminal justice system by forcing through a law that a large segment of society, including the police, does not support?
