Delays over federal gun 'buyback' program contributed to 'diminished' support, minister says
OTTAWA — Canada’s public safety minister says he believes the federal government’s delays in launching its compensation program for banned firearms has partly contributed to the drop in support among police across jurisdictions and sowed confusion among Canadians. “There’s been a lot of misunderstandings about the program,” Gary Anandasangaree told National Post in a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday. Asked whether he believes the government’s delays have impacted its success, the minister suggested it has caused some Canadians to question the program. Without a resolution, he said firearms owners who have registered to take part in the compensation program will be out of luck. Anandasangaree said officials were looking to see whether any exemptions could be provided so gun owners could received compensation.
