Mr. Speaker, I am rising today to present a petition on behalf of the people of Port Perry and Blackstock, in my riding of York—Durham, on the Liberal gun confiscation program.
Residents in my riding draw attention to the fact that Canada already has a sensible firearms regulation system, that legal firearms owners are strong advocates for that system, and that criminals who illegally obtain firearms do not follow that system anyway. Therefore, residents in my riding are asking the government to do three things.
The first is to repeal the orders in council, former Bill C-21 and all other relevant laws that confiscate and prohibit firearms. The second is to cancel the gun confiscation scheme. The third is to apologize to legal firearms owners and compensate them for the loss of the use and enjoyment of their firearms.
