PolySeSouvient's letter, dated last Friday, is copied to others, including Provost, current Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Rachel Bendayan, a former associate public safety minister.

The group says the new public safety minister should be directed to:

— build an incentive package in the buyback program to encourage early compliance;

— conduct meaningful consultations with stakeholders before draft bills, regulations, directives and public education campaigns are made public;

— immediately launch an investigation into the classification of the SKS, a rifle that has been used in mass and police shootings, to find a solution that protects public safety and respects Indigenous rights to hunt;

— eliminate all loopholes, exemptions and exceptions related to magazine capacity.

We should hastily implement every recommendation.
