Thanks.
Under the Firearms Act there is a mechanism whereby individuals are specifically authorized to carry restricted firearms and use them for either personal protection or for the course of their employment. That's what exists right now.
An example is a security guard. A private security guard would have an exemption for the reason of their employment. We also see that sometimes—you mentioned in the north—for protection from wildlife, people will sometimes carry more than one weapon, maybe a handgun and a long gun. Restricted firearms can be used in those cases.
