From our friends at the CCFR.
The Trudeau government is preparing to implement part of the promised firearms reform through regulation, the CBC has learned. Ottawa could act as early as this week to ban certain weapons.
As another gun tragedy has just rocked the country, the Liberals seem determined to quickly turn this crucial part of their electoral platform into reality.
Regulatory changes could be published in the Official Canada Gazette as early as Friday.
The Minister of Public Safety has submitted a recommendation to the Prime Minister of Canada, who must give final approval.
According to our information, this proposal aims in particular to ban 11 types of weapons.
Justin Trudeau could give his approval today, while final discussions are still underway.
In the last election campaign, the Liberals promised to ban military-style assault weapons, including the AR-15 rifle.
It’s not yet known when these changes will take effect, or whether there will be a short-term buy-back program. The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the matter.
Liberal election promises
Ban military-style assault weapons, including the AR-15;
Establish a buy-back program for all military-style assault weapons legally purchased in Canada;
Work with the provinces and territories to give municipalities the ability to further restrict or ban firearms.

Poly remembers on the lookout
The Poly lobby group remembers eagerly awaiting the proposed reform. Spokesman Heidi Rathjen writes: We hope to see a similar approach to that of New Zealand, which would include the Ruger Mini-14, the weapon that was used during the polytechnic killing.
For the moment, Radio-Canada has not been able to confirm which weapons are subject to the ban.
The group also warns that this ban will have to be accompanied by more in-depth changes.
The ban on existing models by regulation should be followed by a more general reform of the classification system, which still allows for the introduction of new assault models, said Rathjen.
More details will follow.
