SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment will provide a 5-year sunset provision on all gun
control legislation, other than the use of a firearm in an indictable
offence, unless the Auditor General has reported that it has been a
successful and cost-effective measure to increase public safety and
reduce violent crime involving the use of firearms. The report has to be
considered by a committee representing broad interests, and the
committee report must be presented to and concurred in by the House
of Commons.
|
|
|
|
Expiry may be deferred to allow Parliament to pass amendments to
allow gun control provisions to expire without affecting parts of the Act
that do not relate to gun control and that are to continue.
