Mr. Speaker, this week in Laval there were three shootings in three days. That happened in residential neighbourhoods, and it could have ended badly for the families. Unfortunately, according to the police, we know that this involves street gangs going after each other with illegal guns. We know that in a few days, this government will impose new measures dealing with firearms. Can the government tell us how these new measures will directly address the current crimes involving street gangs and illegal guns?

Mr. Speaker, everything we just heard is false. The new measures coming into force on May 18 directly affect honest business owners and honest Canadians who own guns. Yes, they exist. Unfortunately, this government is not even considering doing the right thing and directing its attacks at the real criminals: the street gangs and those who use illegal guns. Again, why, on May 18, is the government hassling honest people instead of going after the real criminals?

Mr. Speaker, on a different subject, Quebec City encircles the first nation community in Wendake, which I represent here in the House of Commons. Oddly enough, according to Canada Post, the postal code for Wendake identifies it as a rural delivery area. As a result, it can cost up to 30% more to insure and mail packages. That is totally unfair and unacceptable. Will the minister responsible for first nations acknowledge that this makes no sense and that we need to fix this problem at once?
