Madam Speaker, it is interesting that the hon. member talks about being tone deaf, as we are nearly on the eve of the anniversary of École Polytechnique, and he is talking about relegalizing military-style assault weapons.
I would like to focus on his one mention. He mentioned the statistic of 80% of illegal firearms being used, and if we were to accept his statistic, why is he willing to write off 20% of homicide victims? In his own statistic, there is an opportunity to have a significant dent in the homicide rate. Why does he not want to take that action, and why is he writing these victims off?
