Charlottetown's city council unanimously voted 10-0 against participating in the federal gun buyback program, citing duplication of services with federal RCMP and preferring to redirect resources to other priorities like school resource officers.
Official Statement
“It's a federal program. We have RCMP in our city who are under federal jurisdictions. For me, that was like a duplication of service.”
— Julie McCabe, Councillor, Chair of Police and Protective Services Committee
