Mr. Speaker, handguns have ripped our communities apart. We have seen this first-hand in Brampton and in the greater Toronto area. The Toronto Danforth shooting, the Quebec City mosque attack and the Edmonton shooting all involved senseless handgun violence that claimed loved ones too soon. While Conservatives are trying to make assault weapons legal again, the Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety are taking swift action to protect Canadians. Could the right hon. Prime Minister please share with the House how the handgun freeze will protect all Canadian communities?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Brampton South for her hard work and advocacy on this matter. We are taking the strongest action in a generation to keep communities safe from gun violence, including a national freeze on handguns, because it is time to get handguns off the streets, out of abusive homes and out of the hands of criminals. We will never apologize for acting with urgency to protect Canadians from gun violence. We will let the Conservative Party explain for itself why it believes that weapons meant for the battlefield should remain in our neighbourhoods.
