And section 20 deals with ATCs:

20 An individual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess restricted firearms or handguns referred to in subsection 12(6.1) (pre-December 1, 1998 handguns) may be authorized to possess a particular restricted firearm or handgun at a place other than the place at which it is authorized to be possessed if the individual needs the particular restricted firearm or handgun

(a) to protect the life of that individual or of other individuals; or

(b) for use in connection with his or her lawful profession or occupation.

Again there is nothing on discharge, but this is from the firearms act. I don't
have an ATC and have never seen one in person so I can't comment on the language within the ATC itself.
I do not know how a person with an ATC would use a restricted weapon
in the case of (A) or (B) without firing it unless they beat something over the head with the hand gun.
That seems pretty self explanatory to me.
