Trudeau says firearms bill doesn’t target hunters as Carey Price, critics attack reforms
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has said the amendment unfairly targets hunters and farmers, while failing to address the country’s issues with gun violence.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, who has previously accused the Conservatives of “fearmongering,” responded in the House of Commons by noting that Tuesday marked the 33rd anniversary of the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre, when a gunman killed 14 women on Dec. 6, 1989.Earlier in the day, Mendicino blamed the Conservatives for sowing confusion among Canadians, suggesting Price may have fallen prey to it.
“Despite a previous statement released, I did in fact know about the tragedy. I have been a member of the Montreal community for 15 years and I understand the weight this day holds within the community.
