Canadian Firearms Program Activities

Parliament is currently reviewing a Bill to amend the Firearms Act, the portion dealing with registration of non-restricted firearms. The legislative process is following its course and the changes will only come into effect once they have been adopted by both Houses of Parliament and receive Royal Assent.

Until such time, the registration of non-restricted firearms is still required by law and the day-to-day operations of the Canadian Firearms Program continue as usual.

More information will be provided to our clients throughout this process.
