40th
Parliament, 3rd Session Edited
Hansard • Number 060 ORAL QUESTIONS Firearms Registry
Justice ministers from Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Yukon have spoken out against the long gun registry, along with many police officers. Why will the Liberal leader not allow his MPs to vote with the best interests of their constituents in mind and truly respect democracy? Could the Minister of Public Safety explain to opposition members why their constituents deserve to be properly represented? Hon.
Vic Toews (Minister of Public Safety, CPC): Comments by the former Liberal MP, Hec Clouthier, go to show that not even members from his own party agree with the decision to whip the vote and ignore rural Canadians. It is more evidence that the Liberal leader is not in it for Canadians. Indeed, he is just in it for himself. The choice is clear: vote to scrap it or vote to continue it. *
