39th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION

EDITED HANSARD • NUMBER 044

CONTENTS

Mr. Pierre Lemieux (Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, CPC):  

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberal member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-Lachine said that an overwhelming majority of her caucus would support the wasteful billion dollar long gun registry.

Let me remind her, what members of her own caucus have said. The Liberal member for Outremont said, “The gun registry is a disaster. It is a living, breathing scandal”.

The Liberal member for Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River said, “I have advised my Liberal colleagues that I'll be voting with the Conservatives to dismantle the Firearms Act”.

The Liberal leadership hopeful, the member for Kings-Hants said, “Over one billion dollars has been wasted for this misguided, poorly designed long gun registry program that from the beginning was destined for failure”.

Unlike the Liberals, the government is committed to keeping its promises and delivering real results to Canadians. The government is committed to effective gun control. We need to target criminals, not duck hunters and farmers.
