Subject: MPs looking into whether RCMP are in contempt of Parliament for gun bill post
Committee questions police force’s intent on Bill C-71Catharine Tunney
CBC News
Oct 30, 2018
A parliamentary committee is looking into whether the RCMP should be found in contempt of Parliament for posting potentially misleading advice to firearm and gun shop owners regarding the Liberals' gun legislation.
At the centre of the dispute is the question of whether the Canadian firearms program's website anticipated a decision of Parliament by leading readers to believe that Bill C-71 had already been enacted. In fact, the bill is still winding its way through the Senate.
The divisive legislation would reclassify two types of firearms - most models of the Ceska zbrojovka CZ-858 rifle and certain Swiss Arms firearms - as "prohibited", which means owners would have to apply to have their rifles "grandfathered" or face dispossession.
In an April bulletin, the RCMP wrote that "if your SA firearm was listed in Bill C-71, it will be classified as a prohibited firearm," and went on to explain the steps gun owners would have to take to get their guns grandfathered.
Conservative MP Glen Motz - a noted opponent of the bill - raised a question of privilege in the House in May questioning the "presumptuous" language of the bulletin.
That same day, the RCMP changed their wording - a move the Alberta MP read as an admission of guilt.
In June, Speaker of the House Geoff Regan ruled the case was a prima facie case of privilege serious enough to warrant further study.
"The vast majority of the information was presented as though the provisions will definitely be coming into effect or are already the law of the land," Regan said at the time.
"Parliament's authority in scrutinizing and adopting legislative proposals remains unquestionable and should not be taken for granted. The chair is troubled by the careless manner in which the RCMP chose to ignore this vital fact and, for more than three weeks, allowed citizens and retailers to draw improper conclusions as to their obligations under the law."

This is a strange article. I am not sure what rock the CBC hides under, but it needs to take the pulse of Canadians outside of CBC HQ on occasion.
Contempt of parliament is a national pastime. Do MPs really think we are not on to them? Even staid and somber Andrew Scheer can regularly set off the Trudeau stammer at about 20 cycles a minute, which markedly slows his gibberish delivery.
A government announcement used to mean something. These days a government announcement involves a lot of bright lights and cameras around a podium where someone delivers a message as significant as the menu posted outside the enlisted men’s mess on a military base.
Six months later they change spokesmen and deliver the same announcement. They have a habit of repeating the same dirge at lengthy intervals hoping that we have forgotten the last episode.
We can be forgiven for suspecting that common sense, fresh ideas, innovation and problem solving have been bludgeoned to death and are buried beneath the basement floors. Parliamentarians are so intent on virtue signalling and appeal that they look as statesmanlike as a gaggle of high school girls in the cosmetics department at Shoppers Drug Mart.
We do not hold people of character in contempt; the characters in government are a different matter.
