Mr. Speaker, the problem with the Conservative leader's approach on crime is that it consistently gets struck down by the courts. That is what we saw through eight years of Stephen Harper, which actually left Canadians worse off than before. The reality is, our approach is cracking down on criminals while at the same time making sure our communities are safer by strengthening the gun laws the Conservatives are continually voting against in the pocket of the gun lobby, which is not keeping Canadians safe. That is why we worked with the provinces on bail reforms that are going to make sure we are keeping Canadians safe while making sure we are charter-compliant.

Mr. Speaker, military-style assault rifles have been banned since the seventies. The Prime Minister held a press conference with a big scary gun on the front of his podium four years ago and still has not been able to figure out how to ban that scary-looking cartoon gun. With 1,500 guns under amnesty to this day, he says he will not be able to figure out how to do it for at least another three years. Will the Prime Minister stop his made-in-Hollywood approach to crime and actually lock up the hard criminals so that we can stop the crime?
