Mr. Speaker, the second petition unfortunately arrives too late because Parliament rushed through Bill C-68.
I have 250 signatures from my constituents asking more attention be paid to people who are breaking the laws with respect to guns as opposed to law-abiding citizens who came under the gun as a result of that act.
The third petition with 151 signatures draws to the attention of the House that public safety is the number one priority of the criminal justice system.
The petitioners want Parliament to support laws that will severely punish all violent criminals who use weapons in the commission of crime and support new Criminal Code firearms control provisions which recognize and protect law-abiding citizens to own and use recreational firearms.
