The streets? They’re in people’s safes and gun cabinets until this situation is sorted. It’s been 5 years now, hundreds of thousands of legally purchased guns they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in ‘buyback’ pilot, as Quebec pledges support
CBC:
The government also announced Wednesday it will provide up to $12.4 million to cover costs incurred by Quebec to run the buyback program in the province.
Quebec Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said in a statement the province supports the federal program, calling it a step toward safer communities.
National Post:
The public safety department announced it would compensate Quebec to the tune of $12 million to assist in coordinating collection efforts.
Quebec is one of several provinces with its own provincial police force, the Sûreté du Québec, and is the first province to publicly declare its intention to support the federal program.
Apologies, I am going to assume this is a topic you’re not very well familiar with. This whole entire program is for Quebec, more specifically pushed by PolySeSouvient claiming all licensed firearm owners are the problem for the rise in gun related crime, not the firearms that are illegally sourced, yet 9 times out of 10 crime involving firearms involved illegal firearms.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario (essentially) and the Yukon have all rejected the program knowing there is no public safety benefit.
