Mr. Speaker, I and we have voted against policies that have given Canada a 130% increase in gun violence.
Speaking of getting things through Parliament, the minister said “seek” to introduce. The government has been in place for 10 years. It has softened penalties for repeat offenders. The minister took the summer off and still has not introduced any criminal justice reforms to stop guns.
We put forward a “three strikes and you're out” law that would lock up repeat violent offenders. Instead, the government is spending $700 million of police resources going after licensed, law-abiding people. Why?
