Mr. Speaker, the government has the wrong target when it comes to public safety.
00:00:04.220
They're banning hundredsâin fact, we don't know exactly how many, because their officials
00:00:09.700
can't tell usâof lawful, previously legal hunting rifles and shotguns that are used
00:00:16.640
by First Nations, by farmers, and by rural people right across the country.
00:00:21.420
Meanwhile, last week, a man who was convicted of second-degree murder had been released
00:00:26.580
early and is now re-arrested for 51 counts of trafficking firearms.
00:00:33.920
Why won't they go after this criminal and others like him instead of targeting Grandpa
00:00:43.640
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are united around the need to see communities safer.
00:00:50.140
Most Canadians understand that that means eliminating the guns that are most dangerous.
00:00:55.140
Those guns are designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of
00:01:00.860
That's why, two years ago, we moved forward with a ban on assault-style weapons.
00:01:04.480
But we also know that we need to ensure that that ban stays in place.
00:01:09.420
And that's why we're moving forward with a definition to define assault-style weapons.
00:01:13.900
We will continue to consult with Canadians and all parliamentarians to ensure that we're
00:01:25.020
Mr. Speaker, only he's not capturing the right weapons, according to his very own Liberal
00:01:29.140
MP for the Yukon, who said, this is really upsetting.
00:01:32.020
Many, many Yukoners regularly hunt either as a food source or for recreational aspects of
00:01:44.740
And the Prime Minister's own public servants have testified that hunting rifles will be
00:01:50.480
Now that he's been caught with his real agenda, which is to go after hunters and farmers rather
00:01:56.480
than gun smugglers and gangsters, will he reverse himself and promise never again to go after
00:02:07.200
Mr. Speaker, while Conservative politicians continue to fear-monker and share disinformation,
00:02:13.200
we're doing the work necessary to keep Canadians safe.
00:02:16.200
We will continue to consult on the list because, yes, we are not interested in going after guns
0.68
00:02:22.200
that are typically used for hunting and protecting farms.
00:02:27.920
We're going to continue to make sure that we're banning the most dangerous weapons that
00:02:32.960
were designed to kill the people in the shortest amount of time.
00:02:36.840
That is something, unfortunately, the Conservatives want to make legal assault-style weapons again,
00:02:43.080
And that's why they're in the pockets of the gun lobby and that's why we're standing strong.
00:02:47.920
Well, you know, we all wondered how it was possible for this government to build up a 2.2-million-person
00:02:53.920
backlog in the immigration system, and now we've found a clue.
00:02:57.600
There are 60,000 people whose cases have been handed over to employees that no longer work
00:03:06.520
You can just imagine someone calling up and saying, I'd like to speak to Jack, he's my
00:03:10.020
case officer, I've been waiting for my immigration, and they say, oh, Jack hasn't been here in 10
00:03:18.520
These are people who are separated from their families, refugees who need to get here quickly
1.00
00:03:23.520
How could the government have been so careless?
00:03:28.520
Mr. Speaker, we continue to grow our immigration system.
00:03:32.520
We continue to transform it and modernize it so that it's able to respond to the needs
00:03:38.520
of people who want to become Canadians and contribute to our society.
00:03:43.520
That's why we're investing in our system to provide a modern client experience and more
00:03:49.520
And modernizing our immigration system is about putting people at the heart of everything
00:03:54.520
And we will continue to be there and resolve any technical issues.
00:04:00.520
Well, from incompetence to bad ethics, we have another Liberal Minister found guilty of
00:04:05.520
violating the Ethics Act, this time for giving a $23,000 contract to one of her best
00:04:13.520
friends at a company called Pomp and Circumstances.
00:04:18.520
It reminds us of the Prime Minister giving a half billion dollars to an organization called
00:04:22.520
the WE Charity that gave his family a half million dollars.
00:04:26.520
So, Mr. Speaker, will this Minister be held accountable and will she be required to pay
00:04:30.520
back the $23,000 in improper contracting that she gave out?
00:04:38.520
Mr. Speaker, in this House there's a lot of debate and back and forth, but every now and
00:04:42.520
then there's an opportunity for Canadians to weigh in directly on what's going on in
00:04:47.520
And yesterday, the residents of Mississauga Lakeshore had a choice.
00:04:52.520
They could choose between the Conservative Party's politics of division and reckless proposals
00:04:58.520
that included recommending you opt out of inflation by investing in crypto or our government's
00:05:03.520
approach of being there for Canadians every step of the way and putting more money back
00:05:09.520
Well, Mr. Speaker, the people of Mississauga Lakeshore have spoken and elected a Liberal Member
00:05:17.520
Help usä¸č˝ to make schools of opportunity for Canadians...
