Public Safety

Question period touched on two public safety matters. A Conservative member said activists have set up a checkpoint on a public highway in Manitoba that is turning away licensed hunters, noting the province has sent a cease and desist letter while the RCMP says it awaits direction, and asked the government to enforce the law; the parliamentary secretary replied that the RCMP has operational jurisdiction under contract with Manitoba and is trusted to decide what action to take. A second Conservative member said constituents in the gun buyback program were told to ship firearms by courier by October 17, but Purolator, FedEx and UPS all refuse such shipments, and asked the minister to explain and end the program; the secretary replied that most gun owners report the process is going well and invited the member to raise specific cases with the ministry so they can be fixed.Written by AI from the debate.
