Public Safety Canada "launched an engagement process in October 2018 to help inform policy, regulations and legislation to reduce violent crime involving firearms... The engagement process included a series of eight in-person roundtables, an online questionnaire, a written submission process, and bilateral meetings with a range of stakeholders."
The report "Reducing Violent Crime: A Dialogue on Handguns and Assault-Style Firearms" clearly outlines Public Safety Canada's findings: https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/…/2019-rdcng-…/index-en.aspx…
An online questionnaire was created "to engage [the] general public in the dialogue." It was open for a month. During that time, 134,917 questionnaires were completed. When questionnaire participants were asked "should more be done to limit access to assault weapons?" Of the 133,369 Canadians who answered that question, 77% said "no." If the Liberal Government is truly committed to creating "evidence-based" policy, why do they ignore their own findings?
