Official Statement

December 5, 2024

We share many Canadians’ disappointment, at yet again another low point for the LiberalNDP Government. Despite the indisputable reality that the Liberals, along with the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois have failed to make Canadians safer, it seems they have learned nothing. Over the last 8 years, with Bill C71, the May 2020 long gun ban, the handgun ban and Bill C21, Canadians have seen firearm related violence more than double. It’s now at a higher level than at any point in the last 30 years. These are the facts.

It’s our position that this is typical Liberal Party divide and conquer politics. They know they are out of time and Canadians are out of money. They know the Tories will repeal it all in less than 10 months. They haven’t used an Order in Council to deal with the daily violence plaguing Canada. No action on repeat violent offenders. No response to the pleas of law enforcement. Nothing.

This is the evidence that this is a channel changer for a government in a political race for 3rd place with the NDP.

This assault on licensed firearm retailers, fish and game clubs and licensed firearm owners is unacceptable. This entire scheme affects exclusively licensed gun owners.

The Liberals continued abuse of process using Orders in Council where they should be using legislation is also completely unacceptable. The Liberals have normalized the subversion of Canada’s Democratic process for their own political maneuvering.

The CCFR will be in the Federal Court of Appeal December 9th and 10th fighting the Liberal’s inappropriate use of the OIC.
