Gun control group urges PM Carney to ensure ‘timely delivery' on firearm commitments
Heidi Rathjen, coordinator of PolySeSouvient, holds a sign showing a gun still legal in Canada as Nathalie Provost, spokesperson and survivor of the 1989 femicide at Ecole Polytechnique, looks on during a press conference about stricter gun control in Montreal on Nov. 19, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi OTTAWA — A prominent gun control group is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to act swiftly to implement key Liberal election commitments on firearms. In a letter to Carney, PolySeSouvient says the mandate letter for the next public safety minister should include a commitment to 'timely delivery' of promised reforms, especially the buyback of banned firearms. PolySeSouvient includes students and graduates of Montreal's École Polytechnique, where a gunman killed 14 women in 1989. During the recent election campaign, the influential group said Carney's Liberals were the ones most likely to bring in additional measures to prevent firearm-related violence. Nathalie Provost, who was shot at Polytechnique and has long worked with the group, ran successfully for the Liberals in a Quebec riding. In its letter dated last Friday, PolySeSouvient also asks Carney to avoid a phenomenon it claims to have seen over the last decade — the watering-down of planned or adopted gun measures through neglect or ineffective regulation.
