Alberta's justice minister is celebrating Friday's scrapped amendments to the federal firearms legislation, but Tyler Shandro believes more work needs to be done on Bill C-21.
The federal Liberal party withdrew a controversial amendment this week that introduced a new definition of an assault-style weapon.
"Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino released a statement on Twitter that made it clear the federal government’s decision to withdraw the amendments was merely a pause in their campaign," Shandro's statement said. The amendment with the new definition of an assault-style weapon was added to the bill at committee at the end of November, after the committee had finished debating the bill and hearing from witnesses."I've never seen such a groundswell of opposition come really from everywhere all at once," he said.
"It is not our intention to impact those that are hunting and using firearms for hunting," government house leader Mark Holland said Friday.One Calgary business says the amendments still hurt its bottom line, despite not being passed.
