Mr. Speaker, Canadians are sick and tired of the Prime Minister's misleading statements about gun violence. Yesterday, the Prime Minister had the audacity to pat himself on the back over his appalling handgun crime record.
I am a Canadian who lost a friend three years ago to gun violence, and I take the Prime Minister's deception personally. Handgun crime is up 116% since the Liberals came into power. Families are grieving, and the Toronto Police Association is calling out the Prime Minister for being out of touch and offensive to victims.
Canadians simply deserve better. Canadians deserve a prime minister and a government that will stop the crime, not this Prime Minister, who is focused on celebrating his own failures.
