Former Yukon MP Ryan Leef has invited MP Larry Bagnell to a debate on the recently announced firearms Legislation banning 1,500 models of firearms.
In the statement Leef says, "Much of the rationale provided by you [Mr. Bagnell] and your Government is deeply contradictory and appears to have no coherent value for public safety. Furthermore, many Yukon and Canadian residents are concerned by the manner in which this legislation is being implemented."
Leef went on to say, "There is much to discuss Mr. Bagnell and Yukon has been denied an opportunity to hear our Member of Parliament debate the issue at hand.
To that end, I would like to extend you the invitation to debate me in a public radio broadcast, respecting all social distancing parameters of course, to provide you the opportunity to educate Yukon residents on the public safety benefits of this Order in Council and to face counter points in discussion like all Liberal MP's should have in Parliamentary debate."
