Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from 180 Canadians, from the provinces of Quebec and Saskatchewan, who note that Canadian citizens are opposed to more restrictions and prohibitions on legal firearms. They note the 1993 auditor general's report indicated that many firearms regulations were brought in as a matter of public policy with no regard to future effectiveness or potential benefits.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon Parliament not to enact further firearms control legislation, regulations or orders in council.
