Mr. Speaker, I commend the government for wanting to participate in the summit on gun violence that the mayor of Montreal has convened for January 26. However, this should not stop the government from taking action in the meantime. It is a summit, not an excuse for buying time.
Quebec and Montreal have already asked the federal government to do more to combat gun trafficking. Today, it must tighten border controls. Today, this government must create the joint task force proposed by my Bloc Québécois colleague. It is the federal government's exclusive responsibility.
Will the minister take responsibility, yes or no?
