We are thrilled to announce that the Supreme Court of Canada has granted leave to hear our appeal in the CCFR’s landmark case challenging the federal government’s use of an Order in Council (OIC) to prohibit more than 2,500 types of firearms.

At the heart of our challenge is a fundamental question of executive authority and the rule of law: Orders in Council are executive instruments meant for implementation and administration, not for enacting broad, permanent changes that affect thousands of law-abiding citizens and ban billions in private property. We argue that this OIC exceeded the intended scope of the Governor in Council's regulation-making power under the Criminal Code, bypassing Parliament in a manner that undermines democratic process and proper limits on executive action.

After losing at the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal, we now stand ready to present our arguments before the Supreme Court of Canada. This is a pivotal moment not only for the hundreds of thousands of licenced firearms owners affected by the ban, but for the rule of law and the proper limits of executive power in our democracy.

We are optimistic that the Supreme Court will carefully examine whether the government’s chosen method was lawful and appropriate. Licenced gun owners across Canada — responsible, law-abiding citizens who have followed every rule — deserve clarity, fairness, and justice on this issue.

We look forward to advancing these arguments at the highest level and to the day when Canada’s licenced firearms community finally receives the fairness and justice, we have long awaited.

We thank our legal team, our supporters, and every licenced firearm owner who has stood with us throughout this long journey. Justice at the Supreme Court of Canada is now within reach.
