Her husband, a legal gun owner, didn't have time to load his shotgun, but pointed it at the criminals who quickly took off.

The family, who immigrated to Canada six years ago, say they now fear for their safety and say more needs to be done to catch and punish those responsible for recent home invasions.

"It's a criminal situation in this country. It's a terrible situation," the mother told us. "I hope maybe the government will see what is happening. I have hope, maybe government will change the law and do something."

A Privy Council Office report, Understanding Firearms Owners, casts serious doubt on the ability of the federal government to confiscate firearms from licensed gun owners.

The scheme faces a high risk of non-compliance, as well as exorbitant costs with little public safety benefit.

“The Government of Canada believes it is unlikely to be the most trusted messenger with individuals who own assault-style firearms,” the report states. 

It warns the confiscation scheme’s success hinges on gun owners’ belief in its legitimacy and connection to public safety, a connection that’s clearly lacking.

According to the report, only 15 percent of surveyed gun owners expect to be affected by the confiscation scheme that targets firearms banned by the May 2020 Order in Council and others added by the RCMP since then. 

Of that 15%, a whopping 67 percent say they’re unlikely to comply. The numbers are even higher in Western provinces, 71 percent in Alberta and Saskatchewan, revealing a deep regional mistrust of the federal Liberal government.

Journalist Lorne Gunter didn’t mince words.

“I don’t trust any government that doesn’t trust my law-abiding neighbors to own guns if they want to,” said journalist Lorne Gunter.

Though not a gun owner himself, Gunter emphasized the importance of personal liberty and practical governance. 

“You are not going to stop illegal shootings by confiscating legal weapons from law-abiding Canadians,” he said. “That’s the fallacy of all of this.”

Ekos’ findings support this disconnect. 

A majority of gun owners (84 percent) believe violence committed with guns is almost always committed by those in illegal possession of them. Further, 78 percent believe licensed gun owners are unfairly targeted by the Liberal government’s current policies.

Gunter sums up the controversy bluntly. 

“This is yet again a failure of government that is emotionally driven, not logically driven.” 

Ottawa’s Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme may be politically popular in some urban centers, but across the country it’s generating division, suspicion, and resistance.

As the Liberal government moves toward implementation, one uncomfortable truth lingers.

The criminal element will never be affected by this scheme because they don’t have firearms licenses and they don’t register their illegally-owned guns.

The Liberal Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme it is designed to target licensed gun owners only, which proves the point CSSA has made for years.

If improving public safety was truly its intent, the scheme would focus on criminals illegally possessing guns. 

This scheme was never intended to improve public safety.

"I don't trust any government that doesn't trust my law-abiding neighbours, to own guns if they want to."

While Liberal pro-crime laws C-5 and C-75 have ensured the frequent release of violent repeat offenders, including those guilty of domestic violence, they still continue their attack on licensed firearms owners.

The federal government has not yet made good on its commitment to send banned guns collected through the federal buyback program to Ukraine.

So far, no firearms have been donated to the war effort, despite a pledge made by the Trudeau government in December.

One day before the 35th anniversary of the Polytechnique massacre, hundreds of models were added to the federal government's list of banned firearms.

Federal ministers at the same time made a commitment to donate a portion of the firearms collected through the government's first phase of its firearm buyback program to Ukraine, in a bid to support its fight against the Russian invasion.

The announcement was made by then defence minister Bill Blair. He was joined by former public services minister Jean-Yves Duclos and former public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc. Of the three, only LeBlanc remains in cabinet.

Some experts expressed concerns about this plan, warning it seemed haphazard and intended to generate support for the Trudeau government's controversial gun policies.

More than six months later, that hasn't happened. A statement from Public Safety Canada says more than 12,000 guns have been bought back from businesses in the first phase of the program, but said it is still working to identify which, if any, will go to Ukraine.

"The Government of Canada continues to work with businesses to identify prohibited firearms in their inventory of NATO calibre that could be donated to Ukraine," said Max Watson, a spokesperson for Public Safety Canada, in a statement.

In December, Blair said the government had been working with Ukraine since October to see whether any of the banned firearms could be used in the war.

"Every bit of assistance we can offer to the Ukrainians is one step towards their victory and a worthwhile investment of our collective time and efforts," he said at the time.

Days after the announcement, the department confirmed that 23 makes and models of "assault-style firearms" were identified to be sent to Ukraine by the country's Defence Ministry.

"I'm not sure anyone, at any point, believed that the Canadian government was going to pay to confiscate sporting rifles from civilians and send them to a war zone in Eastern Europe," said Rod Giltaca, the CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, in a statement.

"In reality, after over five years, they haven't managed to roll out their buyback in the first place.

Madam Speaker, last night the Minister of Public Safety made some shocking admissions. He is the minister responsible for confiscating law-abiding firearms owners' guns. He does not know what the firearms safety course is. He does not even know what a firearms licence is. I invite him to come out to my local range, the East Elgin Sportsmen's Association, and learn the things he needs to know to do his file.

Since the minister does not even know the basics of Canada's gun laws, will he halt the government's confiscation of firearms?
