Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is currently in power. There were three shootings in Laval last week. A man was killed in broad daylight in Montreal. Laval police say that today's criminals are impulsive and disorderly. What is the Liberal government doing? It is proposing to eliminate minimum mandatory sentences for firearms possession offences with Bill C-5. Essentially, the Liberal approach consists of letting armed criminals continue to walk the streets. Can someone explain to the Prime Minister that his approach is irresponsible and that it will only make things more dangerous than they were before?

Mr. Speaker, we are seeing more and more shootings by street gangs. There were three in Laval last week. The Quebec association of police chiefs does not support Bill C‑5, and for good reasons. In addition, the Montreal police service reports that there has been an incident involving a firearm every two days since the beginning of 2022. Does this mean that the Prime Minister follows expert advice only when it suits him?
