Madam Speaker, I think my colleague got some things mixed up in his speech.
I believe that we must work to stop profiling by police. However, I do not think that eliminating mandatory minimums with Bill C‑5 for people who discharge a firearm with intent will help eliminate racial profiling.
I think that this sends a mixed message in Quebec, which is seeing a surge in gun crimes.
Could my colleague explain how removing mandatory minimums on people who discharge a firearm can help eliminate racial profiling?
