CCFR Says Its Legal Team Will Review Appeal Court’s Dismissal of Challenge

- Key Quote: “Today we received the decision out of the Federal Court of Appeal on our long fight against the gun ban. It’s bad news for Canadians for multiple reasons. It is the opinion of the judges that the “protections” in the Criminal Code to prevent the Governor in Counsel from banning guns that are legitimate for hunting and sporting use, are irrelevant. Section 56 of the decision illustrates that the protection provision is subject to the whim of the GIC, who can change their mind at any time. The decision is clear, the courts will not constrain the government’s overreach on this issue. This has negative implications on many aspects of the legal and legislative system in Canada. Our legal team will be reviewing the decision in depth over the next while and will advise on next steps.”

- Key Quote: “I’m going to be amending my leave application on my case as a result of this decision, because this has given me ammo.” …. “The government of Canada has been arguing two things in two different courts. I’m going to be pointing that out to the Supreme Court, who I hope will take that as a reason why they need to hear the case, and to settle which contradictory argument they accept.”
