Key Quotes
- “We will quickly, and I mean quickly, reinvigorate the buyback of assault-style firearms, and leave the classification of new firearm models to the RCMP, to the experts, not to the gun industry. No new guns should come into this country before they have been examined and classified by those experts.”
- “… the intention is that we will be working closely and focused on those results, working backwards from the results, reinvigorate the work with Canada Post, reinvigorate with the provinces, and put this into place with a top priority.”
- “On the gun buyback … We will work to quickly reinforce that and make sure that the promise that has been made is kept.”
