Last week, Public Safety and the Liberal government announced the extension of an amnesty protecting owners of rifles prohibited in 2020. Originally set to expire on October 30, 2022, the amnesty was extended to October of 2025, leading many to question if the move was strategic in nature; a resetting of gun control commitments in preparation for a fresh anti-gun election campaign.
Research into the buyback program shows a program as off schedule as it is over-budget, with documents from Public Safety indicating that even 2025 may be unrealistically optimistic:
