Mr. Speaker, I am honoured today to introduce a petition containing over 10,000 signatures from across eastern Ontario.
The petitioners draw the attention of the House to the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry. They draw specific attention to the following facts: that the gun registry is 500 times over budget; that the Auditor General has been very critical of the registry; and that the registry does nothing to keep illegal firearms off the street and out of the hands of criminals.
I present the petition with pleasure.
