Mr. Speaker, we all share the responsibility for taking action against the shootings plaguing Montreal. That is why, yesterday, my colleague who is the public safety critic proposed creating a joint task force to combat firearms trafficking.
Instead of taking the hand extended by my colleague, the Minister of Public Safety took the opportunity to engage in a partisan attack. Is that a responsible approach?
Our young people are being killed in broad daylight on the streets of Montreal in the Prime Minister's riding.
Could the Minister take a different view of this and accept my colleague's offer of help?
