Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the interpreters and technicians again. I think it is a plot to make me repeat for a third time that I really appreciate my NDP colleague. I really enjoyed working with him at the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. It is

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I hold my colleague in high regard. I had the opportunity to tell him that earlier. I think we worked well together on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. It is too bad he was not there for the study of the bill. One thing I am having a ha

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the interpreters, who do an incredible job every day. I was saying that my colleague and I work very well together on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. It is too bad he was not there for the

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my colleague raises a very good point. I enjoyed working with him in committee and I hope he will come back after the study of Bill C‑21. The government's mistake in this whole story was to move these famous amendments without doing the necessary consultations ahe

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my whip for her kind words. I am a bit emotional. Where do we start? That is a good question. I think that it is important to be well prepared, to know one's file, even if it is not easy. When I was first given the public safety file, I did not know what i

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I do not think that problems necessarily need to be ranked in order of priority. The one does not exclude the other. We worked on a bill to strengthen gun control in this country and, as I said, some of its measures will strengthen measures we can take to counter

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, that is a great question. I have been in contact with a number of police services in the course of studying this bill, and I can say that this is being very well received. I mentioned earlier about how people can order parts on the Internet. I think we also need t

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I referred to a specific company in Quebec City that sells airsoft guns. This will certainly help save many jobs in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada. That is a good thing. I would even go so far as to say that firearms vendors in general have nothing to fear. As I m

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, we are finally at third reading stage of this bill that we have put so much work into. It may not seem like it, but we have been working on this for a year already. I have spoken to this bill in the House before, including last week, during consideration of Governm

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her co-operation throughout the study of this bill. I really appreciated working with her and her team. I know that she has been working for better gun control in this country for a number of years. It was clearly the government's in

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, if Bill C‑21 is as terrible as my colleague claims, I would like her to tell me why the Conservative party voted in favour of every one of the government's amendments on ghost guns. Why did the Conservative party vote for the Bloc Québécois's amendments on magazin

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, the NDP usually agrees with nearly everything the government does here in the House. The NDP is almost like the Liberal farm team. The New Democrats agree with the Liberals on everything except one thing, which the member explained quite well in his speech. His col

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I really appreciate my colleague. He knows how the study of Bill C‑21 went in committee. He was there. He understands the concept of a consequential amendment. There were several of them for the government's ghost guns amendments. There were some on my amendment fo

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my colleague says that Bill C‑21 is the biggest attack on Canadian hunters ever. Unfortunately, I do not know if he has read the bill as amended in committee last week, but no hunting weapons will be prohibited if this bill is passed. The new definition of prohibit

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my colleague closed his speech by saying that Bill C-21 does absolutely nothing to keep our communities safe. I am not sure whether he read or received the memo indicating that, in parliamentary committee, his Conservative Party colleagues voted for all the govern
