Madam Speaker, how can the government pass 43 orders in council with more than 200 pages of Firearms Act regulations and not find any of them in violation of the charter?
All Canadians should be very concerned about this legislation. It is only firearms owners that are being seriously affected. When one person loses his or her rights, we all lose.
The gun registry penalizes law-abiding firearms owners. It cannot be proven that it makes our streets any safer and it is riddled with errors. It is time to put an end to this. It is time to scrap the gun registry.
Before the government leaves office I want to see a cost benefit analysis. I want to see the government produce the study that shows that it is worth the $1 billion, $2 billion, $3 billion which will be spent on the gun registry in the next few years.
It is time the government is held accountable for the legacy of wasteful spending.
