The province's new long-gun registry will go into effect Jan. 29, on the one-year anniversary of the Quebec City mosque shooting. Public Security Minister Martin Coiteux said that Quebec is righting a wrong when it comes to re-establishing the long-gun registry in the province. Heidi Rathjen said she's pleased to see the long-gun registry return to the province. Years in the makingThe province started working to create its own long-gun registry after the national one was dismantled by the federal government in 2012. Morin remains a harsh critic of the long-gun registry, telling Radio-Canada that the process is "useless" and "hard to enforce."
