Mr. Speaker, the presidents of the Fraternité des policiers et policières de Montréal and the Fédération des policiers et policières municipaux du Québec have reiterated their support for the firearms registry. For them, it is all about safety. They say that the $4 million cost associated with the long gun registry pales in comparison to the costs associated with firearm-related injuries and deaths.
Why do the Conservatives reject the opinion of police officers, who say that the firearms registry is an important tool in the fight against crime?
