Jour de l'opposition |

|
Mr. McGuinty moved, |
M. McGuinty propose, |
||||
|
Whereas the Harris Government has lowered the minimum age for hunting with a firearm to just 12 years of age; and Whereas many police and victims groups have strongly stated that putting guns in the hands of children as young as 12 threatens public safety; and Whereas there has already been a fatal shooting involving a thirteen year old child since the Harris government lowered the age; and Whereas the Ontario Liberal Party believes that it is more important to put books, not guns in the hands of children; and Whereas the Harris government has also ignored police and victims groups by fighting universal gun registration; and |
|||||
|
Whereas universal gun registration is supported by: · Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police · CAVEAT · Peel Regional Police Association · Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police · Ontario Coalition of Senior Citizens Organizations · Halton Health Services · Niagara Health Services Department · Interval House (Ottawa) · Municipal Councils of: Etobicoke, Gloucester, Goderich, Guelph, Nepean, Lindsay, Kitchener, Peterborough, Waterloo, Brampton, Oshawa, London; and |
|||||
|
Whereas a recent Angus Reid Poll showed that the following people supported universal gun registration: · 86 % of Ontarians · 54% of Ontario gun owners · 88% of the people in Toronto · 85% of the people in Southern Ontario · 88% of the people in Eastern Ontario · 76% of the people in Northern Ontario · 88% of people living in Urban Ontario · 75% of people living in Rural Ontario · 89% of non-gun owners · 91% of female voters · 79% of male voters |
|||||
|
Be it resolved that the Harris Government acknowledge the danger of allowing children to have access to guns by reversing its decision to put guns in the hands of children; and Be it further resolved that the Harris Government end its fight against universal gun registration by working with police and the federal government to fully implement the federal gun registration law in the Province of Ontario. |
