Quebec can't access gun registry list

The Quebec Court of Appeal has voted unanimously in deciding that the province has no right to the federal government’s gun registry data concerning gun owners in Quebec.

The rest of the registry data for other provinces was destroyed this past October.

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that Quebec intends to bring the case before the Supreme Court.   

Justice Minister Betrand St-Arnaud says a safeguard order will be requested to make sure the data on Quebec residents remains accessible pending the Court’s decision.
