Mr. Speaker, I can honestly say I have not seen that report nor have I read it. But there are a number of statistics that have been bandied about by the government used when selling this particular piece of legislation to the House.
I was also told at that time that there was support from the police association as well as the RCMP. However, false statistics were used in presenting that piece of legislation. Reports are reports and I have no reason to dispute the fact that perhaps there is less violent crime where there is stronger gun control.
However, for 60 years of gun control with handguns, which is very strict, there are still homicides being performed by handguns.
