This past weekend on CTV’s Question Period, Bill Blair, the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, said he and the rest of the government were willing to look at using an order from cabinet to ban certain guns in Canada.

“I think there is no measure that I think we can rule out that will legitimately contribute to greater safety for our citizens,” Blair said when asked if he would use an order-in-council to ban guns.

He was asked several times if he would use this measure instead of legislation and said time and again that the government would.

Think about that for a moment, the government saying they would outlaw previously-legal property, not through debate and legislation, but via a closed-door meeting.

An order-in-council requires as few as four cabinet ministers meeting in secret to issue such a directive.
