They could. We have never had our NR inventory checked that way though.
They are written like that by design to hide the magnitude of the data collection and their real purpose. Once, on site they will hit you with the hard questions and expect 6-7 officers on site - oh and they will take a look at your computers as well. Mind, you before they go-in they already have all your search history for the last six months or so to see if there is any evidence of anyone trying to hide something.
Posting this just to keep the firearms community informed. We are in no way cooperating or collaborating with the confiscation.
Good afternoon,
I am C/Supt Amanda Jones with the RCMP in Ottawa. I am currently assigned to the RCMP Firearm Compensation Team who is providing assistance to Public Safety Canada on the implementation of the federal Firearm Compensation Program, known as the Buy Back Program. I am only speaking to the firearms that have been listed as prohibited in the May 2020 Order in Council.
One of the things the RCMP is assisting PS Canada on is the collection of firearms from businesses. We have identified a location for receiving the firearms from businesses where we will be doing the processing for validation, that leads to payment, and the destruction. In order to get a sense of how many firearms we will be receiving from businesses, I was hoping I could have a quick phone call with someone at the company to learn how many previously non‐restricted and
restricted firearms, that are now prohibited, you have in your inventory, including upper receivers. This information will help inform us as to the numbers we can expect from businesses, especially the previously non‐restricted numbers.
I thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.
Respectfully,
Amanda

We are in no way cooperating or collaborating with the confiscation.
Possibly testing the waters to see what kind of response they get from the Provincial government and our CFO.Given the stance of the AB government, it is odd that a business in AB would receive such an email.

Also she has a linked in account too![]()
You guys are in Alberta, right? As per the Alberta Firearm Act any confiscation agents will need to be approved by the provincial government.
You should reply by pointing this out, assert that you would only discuss such matters with an approved confiscation agent and asking for their provincial confiscation agent license number.
We would all be incarcerated if we don’t comply
