Lol, oh my god you dickhead, I thought you were quoting the article.

The coming legislation does have the same title as a previously failed bill from the last Parliament, which died on the order paper after Trudeau called the 2021 election.

So that pretty much confirms it to be a re-issue of C-21.

What I can say is that we've heard from survivors of gun violence, we've seen a spate of gun violence… On the other hand, we also know that we have we have legitimate sport shooters, for example… There is hunting, and we don't want to do anything that that trenches upon those legitimate interests as well,"

I don't know what "trenching" on legitimate issues means, but I'm pretty sure confiscating people's guns counts as infringing on them.

Sport shooting coincidentally not mentioned. Not surprised.
