Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I had the opportunity to speak at second reading of this bill, and I listened to the speeches given by my other colleagues. One point that kept coming up from the Conservative side was about protecting victims. It was pointed out that, in the review process, victims' views were perhaps not sufficiently taken into account in cases where a sanction was warranted, but not necessarily removal. However, an amendment adopted in committee would allow for victims to at least be notified of the reasons why their complaints were not successful. Does my colleague think this is a step in the right direction? Could Bill C-9 not have done a little more to protect victims?

Madam Speaker, the Liberals promised they would keep people safe from handgun violence. However, at the very last second, the Liberals added an amendment to Bill C-21 that is not about keeping our city centres or children safe, but instead would hurt rural and coastal communities. This bill was supposed to protect people, not go after hunters, farmers or indigenous peoples. Will the Prime Minister listen to the outpour of concerns and clean up his mess?

Madam Speaker, Nunavummiut need to hunt to feed their families and to protect themselves from dangerous predators, such as polar bears. Bill C-21 was about getting handguns off the streets, but now with this last-minute amendment, the Liberal government has shown how out of touch it is with the daily lives of Nunavummiut. My community is worried and confused. When will the government stop playing political games and ensure indigenous communities can protect themselves from dangerous predators like—

Madam Speaker, I speak to members from Montreal, where the world is gathering for COP15 in a desperate, last-chance effort to save endangered nature. We do not have to look far. We do not even have to look as far as Fairy Creek on Vancouver Island or the threatened caribou habitat in the boreal. Here on the Island of Montreal, the federal government is ignoring the opportunity to protect 215 hectares of highly threatened, important wetland biodiversity, home to the Least Bittern, short-eared owl and monarch butterflies. This is federal jurisdiction. When will the government act to protect it?
