Mr. Speaker, speaking of difficult times, the Prime Minister's policies have given us a 32% increase in violent crime and a 90% increase in gang crime. Murder rates are now rising again this year, year after year. What is his solution? It is to ban Grandpa Joe's hunting rifle. In fact, he wants to ban hundreds of thousands of hunting rifles and spend hundreds of millions of dollars doing it. Why will the Prime Minister not leave hunters alone and go after the real criminals?

Mr. Speaker, again, the Conservatives do a good job of talking about their supposed tough-on-crime agenda. That single-minded approach they have is, unfortunately, wrong. As we have seen, supposedly tough-on-crime legislation that keeps getting struck down by the courts does not do a thing to keep our communities safer. That is why we are focused on smart legislation to ensure that Canadians are protected and to make sure our communities are safer. We are going to continue to move forward on responsible gun control while respecting the rights of law-abiding hunters and farmers.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and his policies have caused a 32% increase in violent crime. Crime related to street gangs has increased by 90%. His solution is to ban the hunting rifles used by farmers, indigenous peoples and people living in rural communities. When will he finally target the real violent and repeat criminals instead of our hunters and farmers?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Prime Minister is saying that he is protecting public safety, but the crime rates are skyrocketing in this country. Gang-related homicides have not been this high since 2005. Violent crime is up by a third since he took government seven years ago. Canadians are seeing this every day in the news in our communities, and the Liberals have now brought forward a new plan for fighting crime. Do members want to know what it is? It is to go after hunters and farmers and the tools that hunters and farmers use safely every day in this country. That is what the Liberal Prime Minister is targeting now. When is he going to stop this unfair attack on our hunters and farmers and start going after the real problem, the gangsters and criminals in our cities?
