Mr. Speaker, we are ending the days of action to end violence against women on a very bad note.
In May 2020, this government unilaterally banned the use of firearms legally obtained by law-abiding citizens. In November 2022, with the support of the Bloc Québécois, the government banned hunting rifles. While the government is attacking honest citizens, armed violence has increased by 116% in nine years. Illegal guns are crossing the border unimpeded, criminals are using them with impunity and women are paying the price.
Will the government leave hunters and sports shooters alone and go after the criminals?
