OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – Canada’s federal government is looking at potentially hiring “third parties” to execute its much-panned gun buyback scheme after four provinces said they would not cooperate in taking away legally acquired firearms.
Per the Canadian Press, Canada’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino recently said that the federal government will take the time “necessary to get it [the gun buyback] right.”
He also said the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is looking at a “variety of options” to carry out its gun buyback program, hinting that due to provincial government opposition he might use other “options.”
“It’s going to involve a number of critical stakeholders and partners, including law enforcement,” said Mendicino.
“But we’re also working with other levels of government. We’re working with industry leaders, we’re working with potential third parties. So we are exploring all of these options.”
A total of five Canadian jurisdictions – four provinces and one territory – have announced their opposition to Trudeau’s federal buyback schemes.
The governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan have gone as far as introducing legislation that will ensure their governments alone are responsible for enforcing federal gun laws.
