Mr. Speaker, we have succeeded at some measure already in this debate. We now have the hon. member referring to registration costing millions instead of billions. We are going in the right direction. Some of the facts are seeping through.
It is terribly important to deal with this issue on the facts. That is why I decry the efforts of the hon. member and his colleagues to distort the discussion with disinformation among the Canadian people.
The Canadian Police Association, representing 35,000 front line police officers across the country, has now joined with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police in asking the government to enact legislation including the registration of all firearms. They know what is in the public interest. They know it is consistent with public safety. Let us get behind the police.
