Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. minister for his explanation about his Bill C-21. I would like to ask him a question.
I had a chance to meet with members of a group called PolySeSouvient, who told me that they felt the bill was flawed. Lots of people are not happy about this.
My colleague said that some cities are prepared to deal with handguns. Other municipalities, however, do not want them at all.
A resolution was tabled in the National Assembly, and Quebec is ready to take charge of this issue. On the other hand, we are concerned about the whole firearms issue.
Given how dissatisfied people are with this bill, is the minister ready to go back to the drawing board and collaborate in committee with opposition parties to redraft this bill and see how it can be improved?
