Harper reiterated his vow to scrap gun registry

Conservative leader Stephen Harper is once more promising to eliminate the register of firearms of the Canada.

"" With regard to the register of weapons to fire useless and ineffective, you know where the conservative party. "."We are in solidarity with farmers and hunters and will allow us to scrap the arms register firearms, Harper said a group in Welland, Ontario, Monday.

The conservative party has promised before to get rid of the registry, but have not yet introduced Government legislation - supported by the cabinet - to do so.

Last year, a Bill introduced by the Conservative MP Candace Hoeppner is close to adoption, but failed on his last vote.

Some NDP and Liberal MPs, including Welland, Mr. Malcolm Allen, voted against the Bill of Hoeppner, "even though they promised their constituents that they would be discarded from the register", Harper said.

Six rural constituencies NDP MPs joined the majority of the NDP and Liberal MPs to vote to put an end to the legislation of the Hoeppner last September. Allen won the district by a small margin in 2008.

A Conservative Government would also introduce a new hunting and Wildlife Advisory Group, Harper said, to "common sense" issues of crime and firearms.

"We need this common sense more common in Ottawa", he added.

People in the rural Canada are not opposed to the control of firearms, he said, with a register of arms gun hand and licenses rulesdrawing little opposition.

"Which do not accept people is out and registering millions and millions and millions of long-guns where you already have all this information.". "This is wasteful, inefficient, and he dealt with rural people, farmers and hunters as if they were criminals at the same time by the Governments that will do absolutely nothing on the crime of weapons, firearms," said Harper.

Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe, commenting before spoke of Harper in Welland, said that conservative leader tries to impose an American mentality.

"It does not correspond with us, it is not with us," said.

In new revelations about the former Senior Advisor Bruce Carson of Harper, Harper said that he learned on their subject for the first time Monday.

The Canadian Press reported that Carson had revealed five statements of prior fraud convictions he obtained employment in the Office of the Prime Minister. He also revealed that he was ordered by the Court to follow psychiatric treatment, according to his lawyer.

"Is that I had known these things, it is obvious that I have not committed," said Harper.

"I don't know why I didn't." It is clear that we will go back, look at our systems, the Privy Council Office [bureaucratic wing of the BP] will have to focus on its systems. ?

"But I think it is important to remember that Mr. Carson is not accused of everything that relates to his job in my Office."

Said NDP press release Harper does not speak of Economics at Welland - despite putting emphasis on it during his campaign stops - because the rate of unemployment in the district is two percentage points higher than the Ontario average.

The farm that Harper visited three featured distinctive green John Deere tractors parked outside, an iconic symbol of agriculture in the Canada, but also of unemployment in the region.

In 2009, a John Deere plant that had operated in the district for almost 100 years closed. The closure left 800 individuals from their work, with jobs moving to the United States and the Mexico.
