This has to do with the question the officials were asked about the removal of.... “A provincial court judge shall, on application” is the addition here to clause 6, and we're changing it from, “may” to “shall”. The idea here is that it requires a justice, a judge, to return firearms seized if the conditions that caused them to be seized in the first place are no longer applicable.
That's the wording change there. It puts more definitive language around the requirement of the justice.
