That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:     

“the House decline to give second reading to Bill C-19, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Firearms Act, because it: (   a)            destroys existing data that is of public safety value for provinces that wish to establish their own system of long-gun registration, which may lead to significant and entirely unnecessary expenditure of public funds; (b)           fails to respond to the specific request from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police for use of existing data in the interest of public safety; and (c)            fails to strike a balance between the legitimate concerns of rural and Aboriginal Canadians and the need for police to have appropriate tools to enhance public safety”.
