Mr. Speaker, he banned BB guns, paint guns and the hunting rifles of indigenous and rural Canadians, but enough about that. Let us just have the facts. Under the Conservative government, violent crime went down 22%. Under the Prime Minister, it has gone up 32%. There has been a 92% increase in violent gang crime under the Prime Minister. Those are the facts. Will he listen to the facts and the common sense and go after the real violent criminals, instead of targeting law-abiding rifle owners and hunters?

Mr. Speaker, members cannot be serious about keeping our communities safe if they stand against gun control. That is consistently what the Conservatives have done, by spreading misinformation and disinformation when we are going after assault-style weapons, putting a freeze on handguns, and not going after law-abiding hunters and fishers. They are using that to try to scare people, when the reality is that keeping Canadians safe requires a multi-faceted approach. It means investing more in CBSA, which has doubled the number of interdicted guns coming across the border.
