We will not bring back the long gun registry

To the Editor:
“We have no intention of bringing back a gun registry.”
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair made that unequivocal statement this past July. Yet my Conservative opponent continues to spread misinformation about the NDP position on this issue.
Let me repeat, the NDP will not bring back a gun registry. Period.
With that said, I’d like to leave the past and focus on the future. A future of hope and optimism with affordable quality childcare, with new job opportunities for our youth and a better retirement for seniors, a future with the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals we need in the North.
We have a lot to look forward to with a federal government led by Tom Mulcair.
–Sincerely,
John Rafferty, NDP Candidate for Thunder Bay – Rainy River
