Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says a new agreement the government has entered into with an association that represents Canada’s hunting and sport-shooting industry is a “significant milestone” in Ottawa’s move to implement a buyback program for restricted guns.
Mendicino told reporters in Ottawa on April 26 that the new agreement with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA) will help the federal government with identifying the number and location of banned guns currently being held by firearms businesses across the country in order to “streamline the process of buying them back.”
