Firearms Registry

Hon. Jay Hill (Prince George-Peace River, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, this week a report by the public accounts committee
delivered a scathing indictment of former Liberal public safety minister
Anne McLellan and the billion dollar Liberal gun registry boondoggle.
The committee confirms that the former Liberal minister knew her
department was using unscrupulous accounting methods to avoid seeking
parliamentary approval for increased funding for their gun registry.

The all party report reads: “–the principal public servants in this
matter, all indicated that the minister was aware of this problem.
Regardless, evidence suggests that the minister knew, and she did
nothing to ensure that Parliament was fully informed and for that she
must accept responsibility.”

For years Liberals denied any wrongdoing for the gross mismanagement of
their gun registry. They instead chose to vilify public servants. Now
we know what happened. Liberals kept Parliament and Canadians in the
dark about the increasing costs of their gun registry. The Liberal Party
owes Canadians an apology.
