Our goal is to try and negotiate fair compensation for this dead inventory on behalf of these struggling dealers; given the government’s first offer of pennies on the dollar, the money being allotted by the government to the CSAAA to collect this information is being used to hire staff, purchase materials and office space required.
And part of this response states they’ll take the money from the government in payment for collecting info on the amount of prohibited items that their dealer members have in inventory. Sounds like a sellout to me.
You'd rather the government hire their own people to do this, and then give gun stores pennies on the dollar?
Never said that, but nice try…

They believe the government seizure could be fair.
If they had a single ounce of integrity they would return the money and crowdfund the loss of inventory. Two million gun owners, even if 200,000 kicked in $4 you would be well ahead of what the communists gave you to screw everyone.
Not a good look for a "shooting sports association"
But that is the alternative. SOMEONE is going to get paid to collect this information. If not the CSAAA, then someone else, someone who is more beholden to the government, someone who is less knowledgeable about the Canadian gun industry.

They made a contact with the Lieberal government to help them on the cataloging of prohibited items
Well, if they were only cataloging prohibited items they wouldn't need to partner with the Liberal govt.
I imagine every business member could tell them how much dead inventory they're stuck with and it's market value.
They partnered with the Liberal govt to broker the first phase of their "fair" confiscation scheme.
