Mr. Speaker, with your indulgence I will table petitions from my constituents on gun control: "That the proposed amendments to the firearms control legislation by Justice Minister Rock are unduly harsh and will waste dwindling financial resources while attacking the rights of law-abiding citizens; therefore your petitioners request that Parliament separate these two issues, proceed to strengthen the borders and strengthen measures to deal with criminal firearms but not proceed with the proposed enhanced controls on legal ownership of firearms".
In the House of Commons on June 7th, 1995. See this statement in context.
