Quebec Municipalities are saying NOPE!

Gracefield's motion, translated to English, which was copied at the other municipalities

2026-02-031 Request to cancel the federal government's Firearms Buyback Program

Considering that the federal government launched, on January 17, 2026, the federal assault weapon style firearms buyback program;

Considering that Canadians have the period from January 19 to March 31, 2026 to join the said program, which provides for the voluntary surrender of their prohibited weapons in exchange for compensation;

Considering that the financial compensation provided for under the buyback program is considered insufficient, unfair or not guaranteed for all the owners concerned;

Considering that the weapons covered by prohibition are civilian hunting or sporting weapons of modern design, and not military assault weapons, and that they are neither used nor required by the Canadian Armed Forces to ensure defense from the country;

Considering that on Quebec territory, the Sûreté du Québec will coordinate the operation;

Considering that police resources are already limited and that their mobilization for the application of this regime diverts personnel essential to the fight against real crime;

Considering that trust between the population and the police forces is a fundamental pillar of public security;

Considering that the coercive application of this prohibition risks harming this relationship of trust and accentuating social tensions;

Considering that public safety constitutes a shared responsibility between the federal, provincial and municipal governments as well as the police forces;

Considering that municipalities are local governments, directly responsible for the well-being, social cohesion and security of their population;

Please note that the minutes from which this resolution is extracted are subject to adoption by the Municipal Council at a later session

Considering that legal firearms owners are already subject to a strict regime of licensing, training, registration, background checks, safe storage and compliance with laws;

Considering that the available data demonstrate that the weapons used in violent crimes mainly come from the black market and not from the legal market;

Considering that priority in matters of public security should be given to the fight against illegal arms trafficking, criminal groups and smuggling;

Considering that the prohibition and compulsory purchase of firearms mainly targets law-abiding citizens, without significant direct impact on crime;

Considering that the imposition of this regime represents an infringement of the legitimate property rights of these citizens;

Considering that this regime does not take into account the territorial, social, economic and cultural realities specific to municipalities;

Considering that several rural, agricultural and northern communities use firearms legitimately for hunting, subsistence, protection of livestock and personal safety in isolated regions;

Considering that several Canadian provinces have publicly expressed their opposition to this prohibition and redemption regime, refusing to collaborate or ensure its application, due to its ineffectiveness, its cost and its unfair nature;

Considering that municipalities have no real power in the development of this policy, but are directly affected by its impacts;

Consequently, Mayor Mathieu Caron proposes and is unanimously resolved:

That the City of Gracefield formally request the federal government to end its assault-style gun buyback program.

That the City affirm that the public safety priority must be the fight against illegal arms trafficking, organized crime and actual armed violence, rather than the confiscation of legally held weapons.

That the City ask the Government of Quebec to intervene with the federal government in order to review the current approach and favor policies based on evidence and real effectiveness in terms of public safety.

That the City affirm its support for law-abiding citizens, hunters, farmers, rural communities and legitimate firearms users.

That a copy of this resolution be transmitted:

At the Sûreté du Québec;

To the Minister of Public Security of Quebec;

To the Prime Minister of Quebec;

To the federal Minister of Public Safety;

To the provincial and federal deputies concerned;

To the Fédération québécoise des municipalities (FQM);

To the Union of Municipalities of Quebec (UMQ).

Mayor Mathieu Caron, president of the assembly, asks if the members of the council agree with the adoption of this resolution.

Finally got a reply from my MP regarding this fiasco:

Dear Mr. Stabler,

Thank you for writing regarding the Government of Canada’s recent implementation of the buyback program for prohibited assault-style firearms.

My apologies for the delay in my response. We appreciate hearing from constituents on this important issue.

Gun violence has taken far too many lives and caused lasting harm to families and communities across Canada. I believe that the government has a responsibility to act to improve public safety, and I support serious, evidence-based efforts to reduce gun violence. At the same time, I have been clear that the Liberal government’s gun buyback program, as designed and implemented, is deeply flawed.

Along with my NDP colleagues, I have raised concerns that the Liberal buyback has become divisive, poorly executed, and disconnected from the real drivers of gun violence. The program has lost credibility in large part because even the Liberal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree has cast doubt on its enforceability and suggested it is being driven by political considerations rather than effective policy. When a minister responsible for public safety admits a program may not work, Canadians are right to question its value.

While getting genuinely dangerous weapons off our streets must be a priority, the Liberal buyback program won't achieve its stated claims The government has failed to secure provincial cooperation, failed to demonstrate that the program can be enforced, and failed to show how it will meaningfully reduce gun crime. Manitoba’s NDP government, for example, has declined to participate, highlighting the consequences of Ottawa moving ahead without proper collaboration.

Rural and farming voices have emphasized that lawful gun owners deserve better than the hasty rollout of an unproven program. Hunters, farmers, sport shooters, and Indigenous communities must not be treated poorly in a policy that targets firearms they have owned legally and used responsibly for decades. The NDP opposes any gun control measures that violate Indigenous and treaty rights.

New Democrats have also consistently pointed out that violent crime involving firearms in Canada is overwhelmingly driven by illegal guns, many of them smuggled across the Canada–U.S. border. The Liberal buyback risks becoming a distraction—highly visible, but unlikely to deliver real public safety benefits—while failing to address root causes such as gun trafficking, organized crime, inequality, and the cost-of-living crisis.

That is why the NDP has focused on practical, effective solutions, including:

Strengthening border enforcement to intercept illegal firearms.
Cracking down on illegal guns, untraceable “ghost guns,” and organized gun trafficking.
Strengthening red-flag and yellow-flag laws to prevent individuals with a history of violence from accessing firearms.
Ensuring any firearm policy respects lawful ownership, Indigenous rights, and expert advice, rather than relying on rushed implementation.

Canadians deserve better than policies that look tough on paper but fail in practice. I will continue to push for serious action that actually reduces gun violence, while holding the government accountable for broken promises and poorly designed programs and implementation.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your views. 

Sincerely,
Gord Johns, M.P.
Courtenay-Alberni
