It's official MacGregor is off SECU.

I look forward to supporting @MPJulian in his work on #SECU and #C21 going forward and briefing him on the amendments we carefully crafted from witness testimony and submissions.

This is a huge blow. Any optimism I had about his amendments are gone. I'm back to just hoping for the largest delays, changes in the Senate, and an election.

Kind of huffing the Hopium here but It is possible that Julian will present MacGregors amendments by the sound of that tweet.

That is very possible but there are two problems

  • He can't argue for them like MacGregor could
  • Julian is fully supported of the way the current handgun freeze is

I had expected MacGregor's motions to take up the most time for the rest of the SECU meetings, but I doubt that now. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the amendment are rapid style voted on and it gets sent to the Senate by the end of February.
