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.

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 the member opposite wants to look at numbers, he should perhaps look at the number of assault-style weapons purchased by Canadians under the 10 years of Stephen Harper's government. He would see the challenges we are facing right now. The fact is— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
