Mr. Speaker, the second-in-command at the RCMP told the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security that the firearms registry is an important tool for police and that it increases public safety. However, the Conservative government is obsessed with dismantling the registry. Extending the amnesty declared in May 2006 for those who have not registered their firearms makes no sense whatsoever.
Will the minister admit that the RCMP Deputy Commissioner has more credibility than he does when it comes to issues of public safety?
