Madam Speaker, what is mystifying is that Conservatives repeatedly stand in the way of sensible measures to control the propagation of assault rifles in this country, specifically in the face of mass tragedies, mass shootings, Polytechnique, the Quebec City mosque and the tragic incidents in Nova Scotia. We are putting in place sensible gun control. What is worse is that hunters in the member's riding, my riding and every riding are telling us that they do not need a submachine gun to shoot a deer.
