Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the address of my colleague, the hon. member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough. He made mention of the long gun registry and the horrendous amount of money that has gone into it and is not really making anyone safe.
I know that when the Canadian Police Association members were on the Hill the other day, they were asking for help on a sex offender registry. They want to see one developed. The hon. member may have been lobbied as well. The government makes a big deal out of the support that the CPA gives it on the gun registry, but it forgets to mention that the CPA is asking for a commitment on a national sex offender registry. I wonder if the member would care to comment on that.
