Committee debating gun control amendments won’t be hearing from independent experts

The public safety committee won’t be calling independent, non-government experts to help members wade through controversial amendments to the government’s gun control legislation, after failing to reach an unanimous consensus on the issue.

Calling amendments that the government attempted to quietly insert into already wide-ranging gun control measures “poorly-presented,” Bloc Quebecois MP Kristina Michaud urged fellow committee members on Tuesday to allow independent experts to address their concerns.
