Ottawa says it will complete its delayed gun buyback of what it calls “assault-style” rifles by the end of next year.
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said the gun buyback program of the more than 2,000 newly banned firearms will be completed by the end of next year at the latest. The move comes after Ottawa extended the amnesty deadline for gun owners to sell back any banned firearms, which had been set for October of this year.
