Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his strong support of our farmers and of all law-abiding Canadians.
Our government does not believe that a program in which less than 1% of released offenders ever find work in the agricultural sector is effective or helps our farmers. We want to find skills for prisoners that they can actually put to use when they are back out on the street.
We also do not support the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry like the member for Malpeque does. He should apologize and vote against it.
