Andrew’s Rant

E-111

https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-111
Reclassify the AR15
Sponsored by Bob Zimmer
25,249 signatures

The Government thanks these petitioners for their representations.

The Government believes in balanced, effective measures with respect to firearms that prioritize public safety while ensuring that law-abiding firearms owners are treated fairly under the law. The Government has committed to getting handguns and assault weapons off our streets and to strengthening controls on such weapons. The Government is committed to putting decision-making authority about weapons classification back into the hands of police, not politicians. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is responsible for the technical determination of the classification of firearms in accordance with the criteria stipulated by Parliament in the Criminal Code.

The Criminal Code Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited, Restricted or Non-Restricted list the Armalite Rifle (AR)-15 as a named variant of the restricted M-16 rifle. The AR-15 is restricted because of its lineage to the military-issued M-16 assault rifle.

The Government has no intention of using section 117.15 of the Criminal Code to change the classification of the AR-15

Property Rights

Sponsored by Bob Zimmer

Property rights are a fundamental part of Canada’s legal system, and the right to own and dispose of property is a basic component of our economy and way of life. Canadian law currently provides, in many ways, for their recognition and protection, both in the common law and in statute. Section 1(a) of the Canadian Bill of Rights guarantees the right of individuals to the enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law. Many other federal statutes contain provisions to ensure fair dealing when property rights are affected, by providing for fair procedures and for fair compensation ? for example, shareholder laws, banking laws, and criminal laws. Canada’s common law tradition is also built on the concept of property rights, and offers protection for them by virtue, for example, of the common law presumption of compensation when someone is deprived of property.

During the discussions and debates preceding the introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, a significant amount of time and consideration was given to the idea of including a guarantee of property rights. The idea was raised again during the lead-up to the Charlottetown Accord. However, in both cases, the idea of entrenching property rights in the Constitution was strongly resisted by some provinces, as it was viewed as an intrusion into provincial jurisdiction, and as a restriction on their ability to legislate in areas involving property. This same concern arose in the debates leading up to the adoption of the Canadian Bill of Rights.

As important as property rights are, Canadians have recognized that these rights are not unlimited. Environmental laws, municipal laws, laws regulating incorporation and the operation of limited companies, laws regulating the division of family property, succession and estate planning laws, are just some of the many laws that place socially necessary limits on either the ownership or the use of property.
