This week Liz, Andrew, Gavin, and Pierre are on the panel to try and avoid discussion C21. Andrew’s beer gets even more festive this week. As expected, the Liberals will do everything they can to ban guns from legal gun owners while absolutely ignoring any meaningful action against habitual criminals.

Liberal gun control bill passes Senate, becomes law

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/liberal-gun-control-bill-passes-senate-becomes-law-1.6687992

  • Bill C-21 passed the Senate without changes on Thursday, becoming law on Friday.

  • The version that made it to the Senate was significantly expanded from what the federal government had initially tabled a year prior.

  • Bill C-21 passed by a vote of 60 to 24(opens in a new tab), and with applause in the upper chamber.

  • The legislation includes measures to:

    • Tighten gun laws to include “red flag” and “yellow flag” provisions related to a gun owner posing a risk to themselves or others;

    • Impose a “freeze” on the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns in Canada;

    • A prospective Criminal Code “technical definition” of what constitutes a prohibited assault-style firearm, meant to “cement in law” a permanent ban on future models once the bill comes into force; It would include a firearm that is not a handgun that discharges centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner and that was originally designed with a detachable magazine with a capacity of six cartridges or more.

However, the definition would cover only firearms designed and manufactured after the bill, known as C-21, comes into force. It would not affect the classification of existing firearms in the Canadian market, the government says.

  • A series of provisions meant to make it illegal to make or buy ghost guns and to combat firearms smuggling; and

  • Wording making clear the government’s intent to uphold Indigenous treaty rights.

  • The bill also includes a requirement for a parliamentary review of the technical definition five years after it comes into effect, while a series of other related measures are being advanced through regulations.

  • after six sitting months that included a dozen days of study at the Senate National Security, Defence and Veterans Affairs Committee, where 66 witnesses were heard from(opens in a new tab), Bill C-21 passed the Senate without amendment.

  • Though, senators did submit several observations about the bill, including that the government should consider “additional policy measures,” to address outstanding concerns, such as implementing a Canada-wide database and data collection process regarding all gun-related injuries and death, and consulting further with sport shooters.

    • Witnesses emphasized that several potential harms associated with owning a firearm would not be fully

addressed by Bill C-21, including harms such as domestic violence and suicide. Consequently, the

committee recommends that the Government of Canada undertake careful analysis and consideration

of these potential harms, and develop comprehensive, tailored and integrated policy measures to be

implemented alongside Bill C-21.

  • The committee recommends that the Government of Canada, in consultation with suicide prevention

experts, consider whether information regarding mental health literacy, suicide and suicide prevention

– including firearms-specific information – should be included in Canadian Firearms Safety Courses.

  • The committee recommends that the Government of Canada immediately develop and implement a

Canada-wide database and data collection process regarding all gun-related injuries and deaths. This

database and data collection process should be developed in consultation with the medical community

most experienced in treating gunshot injuries and recording firearms-related deaths

  • The committee understands that Bill C-21 would create additional rules in relation to handguns.

Specifically, with some exceptions, new registration certificates for handguns would not be issued and

the transfer of handguns would be limited.

Witnesses made comments about the effects that Bill C-21 would have on the ability of handgun

owners to bequeath collectible handguns that have sentimental value to immediate family members.

For these owners, the results could include stress, anxiety and anger.

The committee encourages the Government of Canada to work with handgun owners to try to find

solutions that could address this issue while both preserving public safety and maintaining the spirit of

the legislation.

  • Witnesses expressed various views about the implementation of exceptions that would be granted to

handgun shooting sports that are Olympic and Paralympic disciplines. There is concern that members of

sport shooting organizations who fall outside of these defined terms will be unable to apply for an

exception to compete in their sport. The committee encourages the Government of Canada to consult

with all sports shooting stakeholders to ensure that regulations relating to Bill C-21 would guarantee

the continuity of handgun shooting sports that are Olympic and Paralympic disciplines in Canada, and

would ensure the existence of continued pathways for athletes of all skill levels to continue in these

Disciplines.

  • The committee is aware that Bill C-21 would include a new definition for the term “prohibited firearm”

in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code, with this proposed change designed to restrict certain new

semi-automatic centre-fire firearms. There would be no impact on firearm models created before the

proposed definition comes into force. Having heard Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions

and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic Leblanc’s comments about the re-establishment of the

Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee, the committee wishes to express its support for a

comprehensive ban on “assault-style firearms” that are not reasonable for use when hunting. From that

perspective, the committee recommends that the Government of Canada expeditiously proceed, by

order in council, to ban existing assault-style firearms.

  • Given the total absence of meaningful consultations, the government drafted a bill which will have no

meaningful impact on firearms crime in Canada.

Apart from certain measures, such as provisions related to ghost guns and the sharing of information

that may facilitate 3D firearms printing, no components of Bill C-21 tackle the growing problem of gun

crime in Canadian communities. Instead, the entire focus of the bill is on firearms owners who hold a

restricted firearms licence and who are engaged in varied shooting sports or collecting.

The government claims that, by banning the sale and purchase of legal handguns, it will reduce the

supply of such firearms in Canada and thereby reduce the possibility that these particular firearms

could be misused or stolen.

There is no evidence to support this assertion. Witnesses who appeared before our committee

repeatedly stated that nearly all handguns that are criminally used in Canada are smuggled firearms. 

  • “By removing the ability to enter the sport, new shooters are struggling to acquire the equipment to participate. Bill C-21 is requiring athletes to prove they are training for the Olympics before they even start into the event. It makes no sense. Athletes rarely start off a new sport with the sole purpose of making the Olympics. Sport is intended to promote activity for life. Why are we putting such an additional pressure on the shooting sports only to produce Olympians? Participation in other shooting sports provides an avenue to enter into the International Shooting Sport Federation, the ISSF events. It covers a greater opportunity for competition than just Olympic events. There are more events within the ISSF World Championships that are contested at the world games. Bill C-21 removes the option to compete at an international competition just because the Olympic Games has now a limited subset of what the ISSF covers.”
