But gun-control advocates have since been pushing for a clear Criminal Code definition of assault-style firearms. Bill C-21, introduced by the Liberals in May, would “freeze” the purchase, sale, transfer and importation of handguns in Canada. The importation ban has been in place since August through an interim order.
Marcell Wilson, founder of crime-prevention group One by One Movement, was more critical of the bill in his testimony Thursday. Asked by Liberal MP Pam Damoff about a donation the One by One Movement got from the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, Wilson said his group received $6,000 two years ago.
