With just a few weeks left in the House of Commons' spring sitting before MPs take a summer hiatus from debating and passing legislation, and other priority bills already moving through Parliament, should a new gun-control bill be presented in as Trudeau has said "the coming weeks," it's unlikely it would pass before the fall. Between factoring in the time opposition parties would want to study any proposed new legislation, and the time that may be needed to implement any regulations stemming from potential new laws, it could be some time before further updates to Canada's firearm laws are in effect.

Read this in a CTV article so it might end up just being a “hey look at us doing something, vote for us next time”

C-71 took 18 months to pass. I can't see this bill taking any longer than 24 months to pass and it think an 18 month timeline is more realistic. The fastest I could see it pass is 15 months. So by that metric it should pass anywhere between September 2023 - June 2024.
