"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8887577\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to lay before the House today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887578\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first petition is from citizens in my riding in the community of Blackstock in the Township of Scugog with respect to the <a data-HoCid=\"318630\" href=\"/politicians/gary-anandasangaree/\" title=\"Gary Anandasangaree\">public safety minister</a>'s gun confiscation plan. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887579\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners point out that the government is trying to ban and confiscate the hunting rifles and shotguns of law-abiding hunters and sport shooters, and that Canada already has one of the most sensible and responsible regimes for controlling firearms anywhere in the world. Moreover, the petitioners note that it is not legal firearms that are the cause of gun violence in this country, but illegal firearms flooding across the border. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887580\" data-originallang=\"en\">The residents of my riding who signed this petition therefore call on the government to repeal Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11814598\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a> and all relevant orders in council, regulations and other laws concerning the prohibition and confiscation of firearms; cancel the gun confiscation program; apologize to legal firearms owners in Canada; and compensate them for the loss of the use and enjoyment of their firearms. </p>",

Ils soulignent \u00e9galement que ce ne sont pas les armes \u00e0 feu l\u00e9gales qui sont \u00e0 l'origine de la violence li\u00e9e aux armes \u00e0 feu au pays, mais plut\u00f4t celles qui sont ill\u00e9gales et qui franchissent abondamment la fronti\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887580\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les habitants de ma circonscription qui ont sign\u00e9 cette p\u00e9tition demandent donc au gouvernement d'abroger le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11814598\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C\u201121</a> et tous autres d\u00e9crets, r\u00e8glements ou lois concernant l'interdiction et la confiscation d'armes \u00e0 feu; d'annuler le programme de confiscation d'armes \u00e0 feu; de s'excuser aupr\u00e8s des propri\u00e9taires l\u00e9gitimes d'armes \u00e0 feu au Canada; et de les indemniser pour la perte de l'usage et de la jouissance de leurs armes \u00e0 feu.</p>"
