"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2079832\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, it is clear; we have always wanted to abolish the long gun registry, which makes criminals out of honest hunters and farmers who do not register their firearms. By decriminalizing it, it is clear that the Canadian Parliament no longer has jurisdiction. That said, if the provinces want to have a long gun registry, they have that option. The registration of goods and property is a provincial jurisdiction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2079833\" data-originallang=\"fr\">One thing is certain: there are members on the other side of the House who voted against the wishes of their constituents to toe the party line here in Ottawa. That is shameful.</p>",

En d\u00e9criminalisant, il est certain que le Parlement canadien n'a plus de juridiction.
