OTTAWA — The Liberal government is proposing a ban on assault-style firearms that would apply once legislation now before Parliament comes into force.
The Liberals withdrew a gun bill amendment in February that would have spelled out in law the various models to fall under an assault-style firearm ban. After several days of behind-the-scenes negotiations, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino outlined the revamped federal approach Monday."We're here today because this is a government that does what it takes to keep Canadians safe," he told reporters.
Mendicino made no apologies."What families and workers and communities expect of our government is that we make this Parliament work, that we work as much as possible with our colleagues across the aisle," he said.The Tories said Monday the Liberals were continuing the largest assault on hunters in Canadian history."Make no mistake, today’s announcement is simply the original amendments in a 'new' package.
