Mr. Speaker, I welcome the opportunity to set the record straight. The preamble that preceded the hon. member's question is so filled with errors that time will not permit me to address them all.
The very purpose of the restitution provisions in Bill C-41 now passed by the House and which the hon. member opposed was to
permit the court to award restitution and the victims of crime to collect it without having to sue simply by registering the order.
If the hon. member had a genuine interest in the victims of crime then he would join with CAVEAT and victims groups across the country that are calling for him to support gun control.
