Madam Speaker, I have two petitions to present to the House today.
The first petition deals with the long gun registry. The petitioners point out that the long gun registry was originally budgeted to cost Canadians $2 million, but the price tag spiralled out of control to an estimated $2 billion a decade later. They also note that the registry has not saved one single life since it was introduced.
The petitioners call upon the House of Commons to support legislation that would cancel the long gun registry and streamline the Firearms Act.
