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.

  • Extremely partisian NDP
  • Supports current handgun freeze
  • originally filed a motion to ask the house speaker rule the amendments out of order
  • appears to want to focus on ghost guns
  • is not MacGregor

To be fair, I'm pretty sure MacGregor was also in support of the freeze... Just wanted exceptions.

Yes, but those exceptions (for competition outside of the Olympics) basically render the freeze null. Julian hasn't shown any support for exceptions.
