Mr. Speaker, the member references the compensation program for firearms.
These firearms have been prohibited for the last several years. I want to thank the responsible gun owners who have stored these guns safely and now are waiting for a plan. In this plan, they will be compensated for those firearms that are now prohibited.
I believe this plan will get assault-style firearms out of our communities, which is essential and important. There is no place for these types of weapons in Canada.
