Mr. Speaker, it turns out the government's story on firearms tracking is not quite true.
In fact, the government is playing with fire.
The RCMP commissioner of firearms confirmed yesterday that firearms dealers and stores will no longer be required to record information on gun sales.
Gun vendors are no longer required to keep a record of transactions.
Thanks to this government, police have lost their last tool to track firearms used in violent crimes, but that is not what the government wanted us to believe. Either the government does not understand its own bill, or the RCMP has it wrong. Which is it?
