If a firearm is being brought into the country, a determination of classification is made by the Canadian firearms program based on Criminal Code definitions.
This allows the registrar of firearms to register that firearm when somebody chooses to import that firearm. It is the Canadian firearms program that makes the determination of classification. It only, however, becomes applicable when that firearm actually is imported into Canada the first time and somebody attempts to register it.
In the case of the Swiss Arms and the CZs that were at question, when these firearms were first imported into Canada, based on the information that was available to us in order to make the determination, they were determined to be in accordance with the Criminal Code non-restricted firearms. Subsequent information corrected that identification and correctly identified them as a variance of prohibited firearms and therefore prohibited by definition.
