Quebec Superior Court: The Conservative Government

Federal Government Dept: In a decision released Monday, Superior Court Judge Marc-Andre Blanchard voids two sections of the Conservative government's legislation to scrap the registry and orders it to hand over all records on Quebec-owned guns to the provincial government within 30 days, according to CBC. The federal government will have to keep registering Quebec long guns and recording transfers of ownership until it hands over the database to the province. What Ottawa must preserve A Quebec Superior Court judge has granted a permanent injunction blocking the federal government from destroying the province's portion of the long-gun registry. The ruling upholds an earlier temporary injunction granted to Quebec in April, on the same day that the bill to kibosh the gun registry passed into law that prohibited the federal government from proceeding with the destruction of the data.
