Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government's record on violent crime is abysmal. The situation has become so bad that police officials across the country are fact-checking the Prime Minister's fake news.
The Peel chief of police said, “Approximately 90 per cent of (the) firearms that we seize are directly traced back to the U.S. And I can say in reality the remaining 10 per cent are likely also from the U.S.” In Surrey, the police union sounded the alarm, saying, “The federal [government's] handgun freeze fails to address the real issue: the surge of illegal firearms coming across our borders and ending up in the hands of violent criminals”.
The only people impacted by the government's failed gun policies have been law-abiding hunters and sport shooters. Meanwhile, violent criminals and organized crime are benefiting from the government's “bail, not jail” policies. Canadians deserve a government that will bring home safe streets.
Only common-sense Conservatives have a plan to support our police, secure our borders, lock up the violent criminals and stop the crime.
