Madam Speaker, it is no surprise to me that Conservatives do not understand why consultation and having these conversations is important and why working with other orders of government and working with stakeholders is crucial to implementing policy that is effective. I do not share the pessimism that the member opposite has, when it comes to consultations to ensure that our policies are effective. The impact that we want to have in this country with this program is to create safer communities and get dangerous assault rifles off our streets.
