stages. We've already bought back 12,000

that is meant to take guns off our
3:18
streets.
3:20
This minister is okay for house arrest
3:22
for people who use guns, who discharge
3:24
guns. I'll give him one last opportunity
3:26
to rebut that. Minister,
3:29

3:32
form of gun control. Yet he talks about
3:35

4:04
do with the decision of the minister.
4:07
Member decision of the minister not to
4:09
legislate. We could legislate. This is a
4:11
long-term offender. Will he work with
4:13
conservatives to introduce legislation?

Yes or no? Minister, uh, the first act
4:19
of this government is to bring forward

4:39
is up to this house. Will he propose
4:42
legislation to keep sex offenders in
