Mr. Speaker, I will have to repeat once again that there was no interference. We did not place any pressure on the RCMP for any reason.
Several months before, we made a promise to Canadians that we would ban assault-style rifles, and we kept that promise, but this terrible tragedy in Nova Scotia was certainly not to be used. We know that these weapons used in mass shootings are used for the purpose of killing as many people as possible, and we were highly resolved to act.
