I would also like to point out that this is very unusual.
Under the normal regulatory processes, the statutory instrument gives the government or the Governor in Council the power to make regulations in accordance with the process in place.
Now I will answer in English with regard to what the normal process is for regulations.
Normally in legislation, regulation-making authority is given to the Governor in Council. The government uses those authorities to propose regulations. It goes to Canada Gazette, part I. Canadians are consulted, and they have a chance to make comments. Then it goes back for approval.
In the case of the Firearms Act, any regulations that are made under the Firearms Act are required to be not only tabled in Parliament but also referred to committees of both houses of Parliament. The amendments proposed here propose to change it to not both houses of Parliament but just the House of Commons. The current regulation-making powers in the Firearms Act require that the regulations be referred to a committee and after 30 sitting days “may be made”.
It's up to the committee whether it decides on, or makes, any interventions with the government. The change that is proposed here would require the approval of this committee, because it is only the House of Commons that is included in this proposed amendment.
