Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice has tabled 142 pages of firearms regulations just in time for April Fool's Day. We can all breathe easily now because violent criminals are going to be lining up to get possession licences and to register their guns which, once registered, will be non-lethal.
The $85 million price tag forecast by the previous minister has already been exceeded by a multiple of three with nothing to show for it. There is plenty of money for this idiocy but nothing to upgrade the national highway system. That is something that would really save lives, but it would not give the pleasure, the rush, that Liberals get from stepping on the necks of their fellow citizens.
Safe highways are unaffordable but there will be hundreds of millions of dollars for this useless bureaucratic exercise in people control.
