| BCWF members have your say: The Canadian government opens its public consultation on banning handguns and semi-auto rifles.
Dear Member,
Prime Minister Trudeau has asked the Honourable Bill Blair, Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, to lead an examination of a ban on handguns and “assault weapons” in Canada, while not impeding the lawful use of firearms by Canadians.
This engagement process is open to all Canadians to share their views on how to reduce violent crime related to handguns and assault weapons.
In addition to encouraging written submissions, Minister Blair, with the support of Parliamentary Secretary Peter Schiefke, will be holding a limited number of in-person roundtable sessions and discussions with a range of experts and stakeholders. They will also be soliciting feedback from provinces, territories, municipalities, as well as Indigenous communities. It will be an opportunity to examine all options and hear all perspectives on this issue.
The Government of Canada says they would like to hear your views.
This is your chance to have your say directly to the government. Consultations are available from October 11 to November 10, 2018. We ask BCWF members to please do this right away.
