If you bother to respond at all, I would simply contact the RCMP to confirm this is actually from them. That will likely stir them up a bit; they like to maintain their monopoly on illegal activity and wouldn't be happy to hear that somebody is muscling in on their territory...
I’d be forwarding a copy of that email to;
The CFO
The premier
Your local MP
Imagine the reply to something like this...
"Good day MP ______, Senator _____, CFO ______, Premier ________, and Minister of Safety _________;

RE: An official request for your review of the following email correspondence, very possibly a fake government of Canada email from a Chinese Police Station in Canada attempting political espionage."
Then just state all of the obvious (I deal with gov't in formal, legal contract law situations):
- bad grammar
- bad structure
- not an official letter on letterhead
- too colloquial & friendly sounding, not official sounding
- not written by RCMP lawyers if it is a real RCMP action on a law (the OIC)
- not a letter through the CSAAA and their program
- does not include the May 2020 OIC as reference (gov't would always provide a link or copy of a reference like that)
- did not spell out PS Canada (gov't is never to use an abbreviation without spelling it out the first time)
- did not identify the location for receiving firearms
- gov't doesn't use "quick phone calls" for anything official in regards to laws: everything is official
- no government agent ends a document with "respectfully" (they are taught this is faking submissiveness to rob someone of something)
In all of my dealings with government I have
never read a more fake, ignorant, and rude letter in an attempt to be friendly and "chummy" with someone: definitely someone trying to thieve and rob you (either Chinese of RCMP, either way). Gov't should never send such an email unless there is a long standing relationship with one another, and even then something of this formal of a nature would never be sent.
I still, after reading it a couple of times, think whoever wrote that is a smug, egotistical, narcissistic failure.
