Mr. Speaker, a moment ago, I listed four stabbing deaths that have happened in the last three days, including that of a police officer, and the Prime Minister glibly got up and said he was going to ban hunting rifles. Stabbings happen with knives, not hunting rifles. Perhaps that is why we see a 32% increase in violent crime since the Prime Minister took office. He is not looking at logic or facts. It is the criminals wielding the knives who are doing the killing. Does he really believe that banning the rifles of rural hunters will stop knife crime in big cities?

Mr. Speaker, the question was for the Prime Minister, who did not have the guts to get up and answer. A moment ago, I listed four murders and near murders that happened with knives in the last three days. This is part of a massive crime wave that the Prime Minister's catch-and-release bail system has unleashed right across the country. We did not have crime like this before he took office. His solution is to ban hunting rifles in rural communities. I ask him again, does he really believe that banning hunting rifles in rural communities will stop knife crime in downtown cities?
