Repeal of Firearms Records Regulations (Classification)

Enabling act

Firearms Act

Description

The repeal of the Firearms Records Regulations (Classification) would create efficiencies and reduce redundancy in records that the Registrar and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are required to keep.

Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses

There are no expected impacts on stakeholders, firearms users or firearms businesses. The Regulations would have no impact on the administration of the Firearms Act. The repeal would not affect accountabilities, nor the classification of any firearm or any classification determinations made by the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP).
