"We must focus our efforts where they have the greatest public safety impact, including targeting criminals who use illegal firearms, particularly those entering Canada from the United States. We will continue working with all levels of government on measures that deliver public safety results."
"Criminals are criminals, they're not going to follow the law, and they're certainly not going to turn in their illegal firearms, so we're focusing all this resource and time and money on a problem that doesn't exist. Let's put the money into actually combating crime and trying to keep people safe. This is not targeting illegal firearms. It's not targeting gang members or people that are involved in criminality."
Toronto Police have requested more federal information and will assess participation in the national gun buyback program once operational details are provided. No operationally viable plan has been presented and emphasis is placed on directing resources toward activities with the greatest public safety impact, including targeting criminals who use illegal firearms, particularly those entering Canada from the United States. Canadians will have about two months to declare interest for compensation to turn in outlawed firearms. Since 2020, roughly 2,500 makes and models have been prohibited. The Toronto Police Association questions the program's likely impact on urban gun violence.
