Mr. Speaker, I get my information from the amendment that the Prime Minister's government tabled in the committee. I have it right here, a list of the firearms that he wants to ban. It includes the Webley & Scott wildfowl gun, fowl as in wild turkeys and wild ducks. That is right in the list that his government put forward of guns he wants to ban. Why is he more concerned with protecting wild turkeys from hunters than he is concerned about protecting Canadians from criminals?

Mr. Speaker, that is the problem. The Prime Minister is trying to tell Canadians that people have assault weapons when what we are talking about are rifles and shotguns, old guns with wooden stocks that people use to shoot ducks or squirrels. These are not assault weapons. That is why the Prime Minister needs to see pictures from the list of all the firearms the Liberals are going to ban. He says he is not attacking hunters, but he is attacking hunters by trying to ban all the guns used for hunting and protecting wildlife in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, we know that a responsible approach to keeping our communities safe needs to have multiple facets, and that is exactly what we are doing by freezing the market on handguns; investing more in CBSA, so it can interdict illegal firearms coming into this country; and yes, moving forward to ensure that it is no longer legal to buy, sell, own or use military-style assault weapons in this country, which is something the Conservative Party wants to reverse. We are, on top of that, continuing to invest in police officers, despite the fact that the Conservatives slashed resources for policing, and we are continuing to invest in community programs and safety.
