Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague from Winnipeg North for his question. I believe I mentioned this in my speech, but we do want to work on the bill. We do want to study it in committee. That is not the issue. The previous vote was to condemn an affront to democracy. Right now, the Liberals are constantly imposing closure. They are ultimately the only ones responsible for their legislative agenda, and they have done nothing. They are also responsible for the Conservatives' current filibustering. These two parties have led us to a dead end. That is what we were condemning in the previous vote, not Bill C-21. Frankly, this government offends against democracy. It is acting like a majority government when it is in fact a minority government. That is the mandate it was given by voters. That offends me.

Madam Speaker, I thank my Bloc colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé. I think that closure, or time allocation, is wrong and undermines our democracy. We need to take the time to really examine the issues. Bill C-21 is important. I think I support it, but it raises a number of issues on which I may want to see amendments, particularly regarding law-abiding citizens who use recreational firearms. We must make every effort to come up with solutions together. That is why I oppose closure motions.
