As the Liberals’ controversial gun control bill saw itself forced out of committee early Friday morning, observers say the government’s attempt to hurry the nearly year-old bill to completion leaves behind too many concerning issues.
Firearms policy expert Tim Thurley expressed concern over the government’s application of time allocation rules that curtailed debate in favour of moving passage along.
“The federal government said they would ‘take the time to get it right,’ and took weeks to present a huge, brand-new amendment package that dramatically changes aspects of the bill,” he told the National Post.
