Mr. Speaker, we have frozen the market on handgun ownership. We are fighting gun smuggling and trafficking, and investing yet another $137 million for CBSA in this year's fall economic statement. Our new legislation will also help revoke licences for people who have been charged with domestic violence or stalking. These are evidence-based measures that will save lives. While we are fighting to make our communities safer, the Conservative Party is fighting to make assault weapons legal again.

Our new legislative measure will also make it easier to revoke licences of individuals charged with domestic violence or harassment. These are evidence-based measures that will save lives. We are seeking to make communities safer, while the Conservative Party is fighting to make assault weapons legal again.

Mr. Speaker, the amendments proposed in Bill C‑21 will set out an official definition of assault-style firearms. Thus, any new weapons that meet that definition will automatically be classified as such. We are keeping our promise to tighten gun control by investing in Canadian communities, strengthening our borders and providing law enforcement with more tools to protect our communities. In fact, we seized twice as many illegal weapons at the border this year as we did the year before. While Conservative politicians want to make assault weapons legal again, we are determined to keep our communities safe.
