Mr. Speaker, this week is an important one for those of us who have long opposed the long gun registry.
Tomorrow, the public safety committee will start clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-391, which would end this registry.
However, Liberal MPs such as the member for Ajax—Pickering, as well as the NDP justice critic, have hinted that they are ready to play political games by introducing amendments to Bill C-391 that would actually keep the long gun registry.
It has been well known for some time that the Liberal leader's plan is to force his rural MPs to support this boondoggle. What is not so well known is that the NDP leader and his justice critic have hinted that they too will move amendments to keep the long gun registry, a move that may surprise the 12 NDP MPs who supported Bill C-391.
It is time for NDP MPs who voted against keeping the long gun registry to speak up. Their voters deserve to be heard.
