I'm wondering if the officials.... Does the government currently have the capability for the Governor in Council to be making regulations for the repurchase? I have a problem with the term “repurchase”, because it wasn't the government that sold the firearms in the first place. I think a better term would be “purchase of handguns by the Minister”. Is this something that we need to actually put into law in words? Doesn't the minister already have the authority to do this?
