Question about Restricted Storage

I am about to get my first handgun approved, and before I go and spend $1000s of dollars on a large safe, I kind of want to wait and see how C-21 shakes out. IF it goes through as they've proposed, I'll have no use for a large safe. Do we have any idea on the timeline for this either? (C-21)

Also, wondering what if there are any realistic storage options people have used for their Restricteds besides a safe. I know its not very clear, but a locking container, could a locking gun case stand for that, plus having it trigger locked in the case?

I know its not very clear

I mean, it's relatively clear. You can store it exactly how it's shipped/sold to you. In the OEM manufacturers box with a case lock on the box and a trigger lock on the pistol.
