Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. There have been too many tragedies involving gun violence. That is the problem we want to solve with our proposals and investments. We have already invested more than $350 million in additional resources at the border. This week, more than 60 firearms were seized by a joint operation of the RCMP and the Sûreté du Québec. There is co-operation happening.

Mr. Speaker, I want to assure all members of the House that this government is taking concrete action and is always looking for concrete solutions. We have added resources at the border. We have banned assault weapons. We have proposed new partnerships with the Quebec government and municipalities, including Montreal, to ban handguns, with an investment of at least $1 billion. We will continue on this path to address the issue.

Mr. Speaker, what my colleague is proposing in the House is already being done. There are several joint forums with the U.S. and several others with the Government of Quebec. There is a great deal of co-operation going on between our police forces to stop firearms trafficking at the border. Are there other opportunities? The answer is yes, absolutely, and, as I said before, my door is always open to explore them.
