I understand the privacy concerns, and the answer that you gave makes sense in that context, but help me if your reading of the bill and my reading of the bill are different. I see subsection (5), the transferee, through the attempt to purchase, would then require the transferor to seek authorization through the firearms centre, with the approval of a referenced number, the ability to lawfully transfer the firearm from the transferor to the transferee.
Subsection (5) here, says:
If the Registrar is not satisfied as set out in subsection (3), he or she may so inform the transferor.
If they're not satisfied and they're not obligated to tell the transferor that they're not getting a reference number, is the transaction not left in limbo, or am I reading that wrong?
