Madam Speaker, as I listen to my colleague, I cannot decide which expression is more apt: “they are not walking the talk” or “it feels like Groundhog Day”. I want to pick up on my colleague from Victoria's comment about cuts to border services.
I worked as an assistant during the Conservative era a few years ago, and I remember fighting for the member I represented, who had border crossings in his riding. We saw the impact of the cuts coming, so we had discussions with the CBSA union at the time.
Next week, as part of a study on femicides at the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, we will be hearing from PolyRemembers. Every time, we go through the same game, we get re-elected, and every election, we see announcements on the issue of better gun control. We are going to hear from the members of PolyRemembers, who are going to reiterate their message and their demand for gun control, more than 35 years on.
There is no question that a lot of guns are coming in through the border, but I want to figure out what measures or recommendations we could propose in our study. There are so many that need to be put in place. My colleague gave a whole list them in her speech.
Which one is the most important and most urgent to put in place? What should be the biggest takeaway from a study on femicide and gun control?
