So, the SECU is done with amendments as far as I understand, there apparently will be no more meetings. C71 is now going back to Parliament.
One prime example of amendments rejected by them, and the attitude of the panelists, is about the RCMP and CFAC and Goodale issuing the amnesty ref the CZ858 & SA guns currently still in possession and legally for sale across the country as non-restricted and restricted versions. You can purchase one before Jun 30, register it, and it will be grandfathered under C71. If you buy a non-restricted or restricted CZ858 after Jun30th, and then register it as req'd after Jun30th, it will not be grandfathered and you will have to give it up as being a prohibited weapon, once C71 comes into effect.
The DOJ is fully aware this situation exists, basically you can still legally purchase a legal non-restricted gun on July1st or later on under existing law, til C71 has become law--and will actually be purchasing a prohibited weapon, and will then be in breach of illegal possession, with no recourse.
And if C71 does not go thru, the ones on the amnesty list become prohibited on July 1st, and will all have to be turned in by July 2021.
An amendment to fix this issue--was rejected by the Liberals.
