Gun Buyback Pilot on Prince Edward Island Not Going Ahead: Report

The federal government’s plan to start its firearms buyback program on Prince Edward Island as a pilot project is not going ahead, according to a news report.

The information was first reported by Maritimes media group Saltwire Network on Jan. 12, and was commented on by Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro.

“Just two days after [Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s] plans to use PEI as a training ground for their firearms confiscation program were exposed – the federal Liberals have already backed down,” Shandro tweeted on Jan. 12.
