Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her support of the government's crime fighting initiative.
In the last election, candidates from all parties promised to get tough on crimes, particularly crimes committed with guns. That is why the government introduced Bill C-10, which would have a five year minimum sentence for people who committed serious crimes with guns. Unfortunately, the Liberals and the Bloc got together to gut that bill at committee.
However, I am pleased to say that with the support of the member for Windsor—Tecumseh, we are going to restore the intent of that bill.
Unlike the Liberals and the Bloc, we will fulfill our commitment to Canadians to fight crime.
