Mr. Speaker, former Liberal MP, Hec Clouthier, gave a scathing rebuke of the Liberal leader's decision to whip his party's vote on the long gun registry and said that the Liberal leader was forgetting about rural Canada. That is very divisive politics.
Justice ministers from Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Yukon have spoken out against the long gun registry, along with many police officers.
Why will the Liberal leader not allow his MPs to vote with the best interests of their constituents in mind and truly respect democracy?
Could the Minister of Public Safety explain to opposition members why their constituents deserve to be properly represented?
