Bill to Abolish the Long Gun Registry Delayed until the New Year

The abolition of the federal long gun registry has now been put off until the new year.

Parliament rose last week, without third reading of the bill.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford expects it will be one of the first items of business when the House of Commons resumes sitting in February.

Rickford had hoped the bill would pass before Christmas, but says a very busy legislative agenda prevent it from getting third and final reading.
