“Madam Speaker, I want to wind the clock back to 2022 when, in this place, the Liberal government of the day passed Bill C-5, which actually removed mandatory minimum penalties for a number of serious gun crimes, including extortion with a firearm and robbery with a firearm. There were no mitigating court cases or rulings from the Supreme Court of Canada that actually mandated that Parliament do that. That was an ideologically imposed piece of legislation that removed them. Now the Liberals want to bring back mandatory minimums, with what they call a relief valve, which makes them voluntary mandatory minimums. I have also heard voluntary mandatory when it comes to their gun buyback program. Is there anything that is anymore oxymoronic from the Liberal government than this?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 86 wordsthe gun buyback or confiscation plan is actually going after law-abiding citizens who have PALS and get training.For those who have restricted firearms, the bar is even higher.They are not going to get safety valves.They are going to get a mandatory sentencing.Anything under this is going to get reduced sentences, and that is including firearms offences.The Conservatives have been saying that we have to start tightening the controls and the laws around firearms, especially connected to crimes, but not law-abiding citizens.Partly on point
