Mr. Speaker, except that, in a private conversation, the minister said the exact opposite. He called the Liberal gun buyback a politically motivated scam.
Imagine what could be done with this $750 million. How many police officers could be hired? How many border officers could be hired? How many scanners could be purchased to find the illegal guns coming in from the United States?
The minister is doing nothing. He is pushing forward with his politically motivated scam. Canadians deserve better. They deserve to be safe. This is staggering incompetence. Why will the Prime Minister not fire him?
