Subject: "Globe & Mail: Ms. Cukier will continue to lobby for stricter gun control." PUBLICATION: GLOBE AND MAIL DATE: 2008.09.02 PAGE: A11 SECTION: National News SOURCE: CP EDITION: Metro DATELINE: Montreal PQ WORDS: 336 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUEBEC'S NEW GUN-CONTROL LAW BANS FIREARMS IN SCHOOLS, DAYCARE CENTRES - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quebec's new gun-control legislation, Bill 9, comes into force today. The legislation is dubbed Anastasia's law in memory of 18-year-old Anastasia De Sousa, who was killed during the September, 2006, Dawson College shooting. The law bans the possession of firearms in schools and daycare centres and on public and school transportation. Fines for contravening the law forbidding firearm possession on those premises range from $500 to $5,000. Under the new rules, teachers, gun-club owners, and public-transit and health-care workers are also required to report suspicious behaviour relating to firearms, even if it contradicts doctor-patient or any other confidentiality. Further, there will be mandatory supervision of target practice where restricted and banned firearms are in use. Wendy Cukier of the Coalition for Gun Control says the new provincial law is a step in the right direction. "These are small measures but improvements are always incremental," she said in a phone interview. Ms. Cukier praises the law's provision on reporting suspicious behaviour. "A lot of the information about risk factors is not in police databases but in the community," she said. "It's giving police additional tools as well as resources and will have an impact." While Canada's gun-control laws are largely a federal responsibility, Ms. Cukier noted that provincial legislation can strengthen the federal laws and limit loopholes. Quebec's new laws were drafted after Kimveer Gill killed Ms. De Sousa during a shooting rampage at Dawson College. Another 20 people were injured. Quebec now has some of the strictest gun-control laws. Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique massacre in 1989, in which gunman Marc Lepine shot and killed 14 women, led the federal government to toughen gun laws. Ms. Cukier will continue to lobby for stricter gun control. She noted that Mr. Gill possessed a semi-automatic weapon and was a member of a gun club. "We're still working to ensure that military-style weapons are not available to civilians," she said. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PUBLICATION: La Presse DATE: 2008.09.02 SECTION: Actualités PAGE: A9 COLUMN: En bref SOURCE: La Presse Canadienne WORD COUNT: 179 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- La "loi Anastasia" en vigueur - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- La nouvelle loi québécoise de contrôle des armes à feu entre en vigueur aujourd'hui. Baptisée "loi Anastasia" à la mémoire de la jeune Anastasia De Sousa, abattue par Kimveer Gill au cours d'une fusillade au collège Dawson en septembre 2006, elle interdit la possession d'armes à feu dans les établissements d'enseignement et les garderies, ainsi qu'à bord des transports publics et scolaires. Tout contrevenant est passible d'une amende de 500$ à 5000$. Les enseignants, propriétaires de club de tir et employés des services de santé et des transports en commun doivent signaler tout comportement suspect pouvant faire craindre pour la sécurité publique par l'usage d'armes à feu, même si cela contredit l'obligation de confidentialité. Le personnel hospitalier doit signaler tout patient victime de blessure par balle. Selon Wendy Cukier, de la Coalition pour le contrôle des armes à feu, cette législation provinciale peut renforcer les lois fédérales et éliminer des échappatoires. ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V12 #53 ********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@scorpion.bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:drg.jordan@sasktel.net List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@scorpion.bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
