Mr. Speaker, I would like to present four petitions today on behalf of my constituents.
The first one is rather timely. The petitioners request that Parliament support laws that severely punish all violent criminals who use weapons in the commission of a crime, support new Criminal Code firearms control provisions and recognize and protect the right of law-abiding citizens to only use recreational firearms, and support legislation which will repeal and modify existing gun control laws which have not improved public safety and have proven not to be cost effective or have proven to be overly complex so as to be ineffective or unenforceable.
There are 125 signatures which support that petition.
