Mr. Speaker, that is a lot of bravado, and we are hearing the exact opposite when he thinks nobody is listening.
The minister got caught in a scandal of his own making, and it is so painful for everyone here to watch him pretend like everything is fine. He is going to go ahead and spend $750 million on a confiscation program that he admitted no one will participate in and will not work. That is fewer cops on the streets, fewer scanners in our ports and less money for a leaky border, where the guns are coming in.
I have one question for the Prime Minister: Why is he keeping this guy around?
