Madam Speaker, certainly we know that when we have the worst government, there is nothing worse than that, so there is no superlative for the worst. The other important part is that my province of Nova Scotia actually had a plan for carbon pricing and was trying to reduce pollution. We know, very clearly, that it cost Nova Scotians less and it actually met targets. We all know from debate in the House over the many months preceding this actual topic, that the Liberal government is not meeting its targets, that it is 58th out of 63 governments around the world, yet it continues to say how great it is in meeting targets. I guess the question that would remain is this. Why would we want to adhere to the policies of a big, bossy federal government that then will make this policy on top of Nova Scotia's, which had a better plan, was cheaper and actually met targets?

Mr. Speaker, the government has been very clear from the beginning. We are not targeting hunters. We are targeting criminals. We are targeting the assault weapons that were used in our country's greatest shooting tragedies. Bill C-21 targets the criminal element with harsher sentences and with investments for the CBSA. The Conservatives do not support this bill, which is a very bad thing. They need to change their position.

Mr. Speaker, as usual, the Conservatives are spreading misinformation. We are on target to make our targets, and we will get there, come hell or high water. What is the Conservatives' record? They cut $350 million from the environment and climate change budget. They blew up Kyoto— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
