Mr. Speaker, I respect my colleague opposite and I thank him for his advice. We can always learn from people with more experience.
I still feel very strongly about the money that has been wasted on the gun registry. I know the intent of the gun registry was honourable and it was for the right reasons, but quite frankly, $2 billion was spent on a gun registry that is totally ineffective.
Police officers in uniform walked up to me during the recent campaign and asked me what my position was on the gun registry. I quoted the Conservative policy that we want to eliminate the wasteful gun registry, and they said, “You just got my vote”.
I do take my colleague's advice, but quite frankly, I also take my constituents' advice.
