"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7786569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I represent an urban riding in a major municipality, and I think that there is a pretty broad consensus in my constituency that people are in favour of strong, fair and rational gun legislation and restrictions. I think they understand the connection between the proliferation of guns and associated violence that comes from it, but at the same time, we do have a healthy number of people in my riding who engage in sport shooting or hunting, even though they live in an urban setting.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7786570\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I wonder if my hon. colleague can tell us, as the first iteration of the bill did not draw a very good line in that regard, what improvements she would point to in the bill that would give assurance to people who do use firearms responsibly for hunting or sport purposes that they will be able to access the equipment they need to carry on with their legitimate activities.</p>",

Les gens sont en faveur d\u2019une loi et de restrictions rigoureuses, \u00e9quitables et rationnelles en mati\u00e8re d\u2019armes \u00e0 feu. Je pense qu\u2019ils comprennent le lien entre la prolif\u00e9ration des armes \u00e0 feu et la violence qui en d\u00e9coule, mais en m\u00eame temps, il y a un bon nombre de personnes dans ma circonscription qui pratiquent le tir sportif ou la chasse, m\u00eame si elles vivent en milieu urbain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7786570\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si mon honorable coll\u00e8gue peut nous dire, puisque la premi\u00e8re mouture du projet de loi n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s fructueuse \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, quelles am\u00e9liorations elle voudrait apporter au projet de loi pour donner l\u2019assurance aux gens qui utilisent des armes \u00e0 feu de fa\u00e7on responsable \u00e0 la chasse ou dans une activit\u00e9 sportive qu\u2019ils pourront avoir acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quipement dont ils ont besoin pour poursuivre leurs activit\u00e9s l\u00e9gitimes.</p>"
