Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert for her motion.
Since she seems to be in favour of gun control and states herself that she was involved in the battle waged by many Canadians to get real gun control after the events she mentioned, particularly the 1989 tragedy at the École polytechnique, I would like to know this. How does she think a gun control program can contribute to public safety and a reduction in the number of crimes? She just touched briefly on this.
I would like to know how, from her own experience, real gun control can make a positive contribution to public safety and a reduction in the number of crimes.
