OTTAWA - The Quebec City mosque where six men were shot to death in 2017 wants Parliament to toughen and pass a gun control bill currently being studied in the House of Commons.

Boufeldja Benabdallah, a spokesman for the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre, told the Commons public safety committee Thursday that the bill, known as C-21, should be amended to include a comprehensive and permanent definition of banned assault-style weapons.
