By the way, Sen Plett is working hard in Ottawa at delaying C71, he got another day's delay going today. Libs are trying to add their own amendments also. See what Tues brings.
Today:
Senate resumed debate on C-71. Conservative Senator Paul McIntyre speaks about the need for transparency and introduces an amendment to C-71 requiring the federal gov't to provide an annual report on classifications and the reasons for them.
Senator Pratte agrees transparency is needed, but speaks against amendment. He says Goodale has reassured them the FRT will be made public "within a few months".
Senator Plett seeks to make disclosure mandatory rather than an option for the gov't. Plett goes on to discuss how reclassifications make criminals out of otherwise law abiding gun owners.
Senator Tony Dean thinks gun owners and advocacy groups just have a "relationship issue" with the regulator and wishes the RCMP would reach out to gun owners.
Vote on the motion for transparency is adjourned until tomorrow. Plett states there will be more amendments to discuss before a 3rd reading can be completed.
