If that is the case, why was the options paper submitted to the Mr. William Baker, the Commissioner of Firearms for the CFC, instead of the Honourable Wayne Easter, Solicitor General?
The goals and recommendations contained in the options paper, Airsoft in Canada: Partnership Through Accountability address legislative amendments and policy mechanisms that would need to be affected by the Department of the Solicitor General, which in turn gives policy directions to other agencies of the Federal Government, including the CCRA, the CFC and the RCMP. However, the CFC is a division of the Department of the Solicitor General, and the responsibility of firearms in Canada falls under the mandate of that division. Decisions made by the Commissioner of Firearms must eventually pass through the Solicitor General, but it is the Commissioner of Firearms who will carry those recommendations forward. As such, the options paper was written for the audience responsible for reading it.
