Four provinces have told Ottawa they do not want their provincial policing resources to act as confiscation agents as part of the Trudeau Liberals' gun buyback program. They aired those concerns to their federal counterparts at a meeting and then Alberta asked for those provinces to be named in a communique. But it appears that Ottawa is unwilling to do so.

00:00:00.000 Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro says the federal government is withholding official
00:00:04.520 communication about a federal provincial territorial meeting because Alberta asked
00:00:10.100 the government to name the four provinces opposed to its gun grab scheme. Okay guys let's dig into
00:00:15.040 the details here. The 2022 federal provincial and territorial meeting for ministers of public safety
00:00:20.700 and justice ministers occurred on October 13th and 14th. Typically after these meetings the
00:00:26.200 federal government releases official communication to relay what was spoken about and discussed.
00:00:30.480 This is called a communique. However in this instance Ottawa did not release a communique
00:00:34.880 saying they could not agree on the language. But Tyler Shandro says no. Ottawa simply didn't release
00:00:40.680 the communication because Alberta asked them to name the four provinces opposed to its gun grab scheme
00:00:45.900 in that communique. You guys know the details of the story by now. Four provinces have told Ottawa they
00:00:50.400 do not want their provincial policing resources to act as confiscation agents as part of the Trudeau
00:00:55.240 Liberals gun buyback program. They aired those concerns to their federal counterparts at that
00:01:00.420 meeting and then Alberta asked for those provinces to be named in the communication but it appears
00:01:05.020 that Ottawa is unwilling to do so as they have not released the official communication. Let's take a
00:01:09.400 look at what else Shandro had to say. Quote the disagreement over language centered on Alberta's 0.92
00:01:13.740 request that provinces opposed to taking police officers off the street to confiscate firearms be
00:01:18.820 listed by name in the communique. Shandro also said that Quebec is routinely listed in communiques
00:01:23.840 as a province that disagrees to federal initiatives. Quote, apparently a lack of consensus for the
00:01:30.540 same courtesy to be extended to other provinces and territories was enough for the federal government
00:01:35.060 to decline to issue a communique. Alberta has asked over and over again to be treated as an equal
00:01:40.460 partner in confederation on par with Quebec. The federal government made it clear that it is
00:01:45.360 unwilling and disinterested in even taking a small step in that direction.
