The Liberal government is moving ahead with efforts to keep assault-style firearms out of the hands of Canadians, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Monday.
LeBlanc said planned regulatory changes will ensure a mandatory physical inspection by the RCMP of all new firearm models before they enter the Canadian market.LeBlanc reaffirmed federal plans to re-establish the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee to independently review the classification of existing models that fall under the prospective new definition of a prohibited firearm in the bill.
"We are taking the time to get this program right and looking forward to keeping businesses and responsible gun owners apprised of the next steps as we move forward in this direction," he told the senators. The federal bill would cement restrictions on handguns, increase penalties for firearm trafficking and try to curb homemade ghost guns.
The Commons eventually passed the bill earlier this year with the support of Liberal, NDP, Bloc Quebecois and Green members of Parliament.
