Mr. Speaker, today I have three petitions all dealing with the same subject matter regarding gun legislation.
My constituents from Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt call on Parliament to oppose further legislation for firearms acquisition and possession and to provide strict guidelines for the mandatory sentence for use or possession of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime. There are 309 signatures on these three petitions which adds to a total of 1,839 of my constituents who have signed this petition to date.
