Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro said on Nov. 3 that the federal government made a “unilateral” decision to withhold meeting notes related to multiple provinces’ refusal to devote policing resources to the federal gun buyback program.

The information stemmed from the annual federal-provincial-territorial meeting of Justice and Public Safety ministers, which was held on Oct. 13 and 14. Usually, official meeting notes summarizing discussions and decisions are made public.
