Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition from my constituents in beautiful Langley, British Columbia. The petitioners note that the long gun registry was originally budgeted to cost Canadians $2 million, but the price tag has 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 and that they would rather see their tax dollars getting guns out of the hands of criminals instead of trying to control law-abiding citizens.
They call upon the House of Commons to support legislation to cancel the Canadian long gun registry.
