Long-gun fees: Conservatives bring back licence renewal fees
OTTAWA — The Conservative government is ending a seven-year waiver on gun licence renewal fees next month in an effort to collect about $18 million annually from firearms owners.
New changes to the firearms regulations were quietly posted in the Canada Gazette on the weekend that restore the $60 licence fee for non-restricted weapons.
The Conservatives brought in a two-year waiver on the fees in May 2006 and had extended it every year until now.
“The government will not renew the current fee waiver in the current climate of fiscal restraint,” said the Canada Gazette post, dated April 13.
Harpers "fiscal restraint" becomes a tax burden on the working stiffs of Canada. With the Conservative policy of cutting taxes to corporate Canada and running outrageous adds for non-existent "Action Plans" working Canadians can expect to be burdened with the responsibility of the Harper governments irresponsibility.
