Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on the federal firearms buyback program for previously banned guns, specifically whether owners will be compensated if shipping problems caused their guns to arrive late. Alex Ruff of the Conservatives described delivery companies refusing to accept firearms, boxes arriving late or incomplete, and wrong addresses, and asked that owners be paid despite missed deadlines. Parliamentary Secretary Jacques Ramsay said the program is on time and on budget, that owners will receive fair compensation, and that the deadline has been extended for those having shipping trouble; he later said experts, not politicians, determined which firearms count as assault-style weapons, and pointed to the government’s broader measures on borders, smuggling penalties, licence revocation in domestic-violence cases, and gang-violence funding. Ruff also challenged the description of the banned guns as military-style, saying only one rifle on the list had military use, and asked how the term was defined.Written by AI from the debate.
