Mr. Speaker, we see once again that the Conservative Party is deep in the pockets of the American gun lobby. The reality is Canadians know that we can and will continue to respect law-abiding hunters— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, once again we see the extent to which the Conservative Party of Canada is in the pocket of the gun lobby. We will continue to move forward in responsible ways while respecting the choices of law-abiding hunters and fishers and people who use guns responsibly to continue with their rifles and shotguns, while at the same time preventing those military-style assault weapons that were designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time from being used in this country. The Conservatives continue to try to bring those back. We still stand strongly on better gun control.

Mr. Speaker, it is right on page 294 of the Prime Minister's proposed amendments that he wants to ban the Webley & Scott wildfowl gun. Again, this is a firearm specifically designed to go after turkeys and ducks. These are tools for farmers and hunters, many of whom are first nations who rely on country food in order to feed themselves, but he wants to ban them and turn those people into criminals. I am taking my information directly from these amendments. Why will the Prime Minister not stand up and admit that he wants to ban hunting rifles and shotguns rather than going 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.

  • Re: Bill C-21 
Mr. Speaker, we have excellent gun control in Canada, but I think the Liberals have lost their minds. They have very quietly introduced an amendment to Bill C‑21 that will ban rifles and shotguns. Later, when the amendment was made public, the Minister of Public Safety said that no, it was not true, that the Liberals would not ban hunting weapons. The Liberals say one thing and then they turn around and say something else. We want to know if the Prime Minister has seen the list of weapons in the amendment that bans hunting weapons. They are going to be banned in Canada. Does he know what we are talking about?

Mr. Speaker, we will always be there to keep Canadians safe. We will always be there to protect our communities and make the necessary investments. Yes, we have a plan to improve gun control to protect Canadians, their families and their communities. We have put forward proposals to ban assault-style weapons, but we will respect hunters' and farmers' right to use rifles and shotguns.
