Montreal - A spokesperson said the ministry is focused on the launch of the buy back program this fall.
Mayor Valerie Plante is urging the federal government to implement wider gun control measures.
The call comes nearly two weeks before Montreal marks 35 years since the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre which killed 14 women and injured many more.
Plante says the city wants a total ban on all assault weapons before the launch of Canada’s firearms buy back program this fall.
The federal government has banned nearly 2,000 assault-style firearms and their variants.
The goal is to begin recovering them from retailers in the coming weeks.
By spring 2025, owners can either sell their guns to the government or store them, not to be used or transported, and, by the end of October 2025, owners can be held criminally liable unless their guns can’t be used.
