Saskatchewan’s government is introducing amendments to the province’s firearms act to ensure gun owners receive “fair market value” for their firearms as Ottawa moves forward with its national gun buyback program.

The proposed amendments say that the value that gun owners receive would be determined by the Saskatchewan Firearms Commissioner, the government said on Nov. 25.
