Mr. Speaker, let me just remind the party opposite that the Mass Casualty Commission in Nova Scotia recommended that governments take decisive action to take assault-style firearms off our streets. It is a critical part of the work of ensuring the safety and security of our communities.
I want to thank the people of Cape Breton for the pilot program. I know that the police chief and men and women in uniform are very much engaged in this process.
The pilot is working. I look forward to reporting back to the House on its progress. I also look forward to the expansion of the program nationwide.
