Ottawa has proposed the launch of its nationwide gun buyback program to start in Prince Edward Island, according to a memo from the federal procurement department.

Released by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) on Dec. 29, the memo describes the “transition” of how firearms will be confiscated from gun owners in the country’s smallest province, which according to the memo, has already commenced in December.
