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?

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.

Mr. Speaker, if the member wants to talk about a failed record on public safety, she needs only look at the previous Conservative government, which continued to put forward a supposed tough-on-crime agenda that could not get any of those supposedly tougher laws to actually stick. The fact that they kept getting struck down time and time again by the courts indicated how wrong Conservatives were, not just in their legislation, but also in their attempts to keep Canadians safe. On this side of the aisle, we are focused on evidence-based policy. We are focused on ensuring that we are supporting communities. We are investing in police, and we are strengthening—

Madam Speaker, I sure did enjoy working with the hon. member on the public safety committee. She is an extraordinarily talented member of Parliament. This is the unfortunate thing about this conversation. We have a duty in this debate to ensure that actions follow all of the well-intentioned and good-spirited words that federal politicians and the government in particular share about our joint responsibilities in bettering the outcome and futures of indigenous people.
