(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will speak in my language. Yesterday evening, we came back from our trip to Ottawa. Several Members of this government went to make a presentation to the committee working on Bill C-68. Several Members went to Ottawa and we talked to them on Monday. The Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs consists of Members of Parliament working on the gun control legislation.
We had a conference with our Member of Parliament, Ethel Blondin-Andrew. She is not sitting on the committee, but we talked with her. The committee is gathering information about the bill. Monday was the first day that they sat and the Justice Minister, Allan Rock, spoke to the participants. We also had a conference with him. I feel that our presentation was good. Our Minister of Justice, Stephen Kakfwi, made a good presentation. I also gathered information from my constituents and made a presentation. I feel that the two hours we spent talking to them were good.
I feel that the federal government doesn't always think the same way as we do and so it will be hard to change their minds. Canada is a very big country. There are people living from Nova Scotia to BC and we don't all live the same way. Also, many people live in the cities. I am running out of time, Mr. Speaker. If it is okay, I would like to finish what I'm talking about.
