Mr. Speaker, I survived the Polytechnique femicide where 14 women lost their lives.
In 1990, the largest paper petition was tabled here in the House of Commons. It asked for the removal of assault-style firearms from our streets. This was in 1990 and, even today, more than 70% of Canadians, including rural Canadians, are in favour. This is not about going after hunters or farmers. It is about firearms that are meant to kill.
We made a promise and we will keep it. It will get done.
