Complaint to Information Commissioner RCMP ATIP File: A-2019-03933 by Dennis R. Young – November 3, 2019
EXCERPT: Unfortunately, none of these costs and staffing requirements are reported to Parliament so MPs and Senators are operating in the dark when trying to determine if the Canadian Firearms Program is operating cost-effectively and if it is improving public and police safety.
