Mr. Speaker, I think what the member just illustrated is what has happened over these nine years under the NDP-Liberal government. Taxes are up, costs are up and violent crime continues to go up.
The Liberals' gun ban does nothing to stop violent crime on our streets. In fact, violent gun crime is up 116% across Canada since the Liberal government took power. The Vancouver police association agrees. It stated, “Stopping legal sales won't stop criminals from getting guns illegally. You're only restricting law-abiding citizens while doing little to address actual crime and violence.”
When will the Liberals finally listen to police, stop attacking law-abiding gun owners and go after the violent criminals instead?
