Mr. Speaker, at the very end of his speech, my colleague touched on the issue of red flags. Between the Conservatives' disinformation and the lack of political will of the Liberal‑NDP coalition, there was a great deal of concern coming from women's groups. The issue of red flags was not clear. My colleague from Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia talked about it earlier. This happened quickly this afternoon. Women's groups, including shelters, have reservations about the impact of this red flag provision. For these reasons, given these reservations, my colleague would have voted against. I would like my colleague to tell us why the NDP voted in favour of a measure that is causing concern among women's groups and does not reassure them at all.
