Mr. Speaker, the member opposite is completely misrepresenting the facts.
Our government believes the best way to tackle violent gun crime is to ensure individuals who commit crimes with firearms are in jail.
The NDP needs to get behind us with these initiatives. I do thank the NDP members from Thunder Bay who supported our initiative to get rid of the long gun registry because it is ineffective in fighting violent gun crime. We need to get behind measures that do not just make people feel safe but actually make them more safe.
