Madam Speaker, we are currently discussing a bill that would strengthen gun control. We are prepared to study it and analyze it in committee. However, as the Montreal police have fully shown and documented, most gun violence is committed with illegal weapons, contraband weapons. Why is it that the government is not taking steps to stop this smuggling, despite all the pressure we have been exerting for a registry of criminal organizations and more measures at the border?

Mr. Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, in the 2015-19 Parliament, my predecessor attempted, by similar means, to change the name of my riding, Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot, to Saint‑Hyacinthe—Acton, so that all constituents would feel represented. Unfortunately, the bill died in the luxurious sleepy hollow known as the Senate. I do not want my colleague's bill to meet the same fate. I am going to try to take advantage of the current redistribution process to also propose changing the name of my riding. However, if I were to propose a bill to change the name of my riding, could I count on my colleague's support?
