Mr. Speaker, again, we are seeing the NRA spokesperson making things up. It will be three years next month since we got rid of assault-style weapons in Canada. It is now illegal to use them, buy them or sell them. The Conservative Party of Canada wants to bring these assault rifles back, but we will not allow that to happen. That is why I am calling on everyone in the House to support Bill C‑21 when it comes back to the House.

Mr. Speaker, the length to which the Leader of the Opposition will go to try to pretend that he is not in the pocket of the NRA is quite humorous. The reality is that the talking points they are putting out there are completely disconnected from any reality. Three years ago, we made the decision to render assault-style weapons, weapons designed to kill the largest number of people as quickly as possible, illegal in our communities in this country. We banned them from being bought, sold or used. This is what we are continuing with. This is what he stands against.

Mr. Speaker, if Conservative Party members were serious about going after crime, they would support our freeze on handguns. They would support the fact that we have banned assault-style weapons, which is something they continue to avoid, dodge, and spread misinformation and disinformation on. The reality is that we have continued to invest in police when the Conservative government before me cut services and funding to police. They cut services to CBSA. They cut initiatives that actually kept Canadians safe, and now they are just in the pockets of the NRA.
