Victims of three school shootings in Montreal say they will blame federal NDP Leader Jack Layton if legislation calling for the abolition of the gun registry is adopted.
A dozen people who were wounded or lost family members in the École Polytechnique massacre, as well as fatal shootings at Concordia University and Dawson College, said Bill C-391 must be blocked.
Gathered together in public for the first time on Friday, the victims expressed frustration with Layton's refusal to enforce party discipline and demand that all NDP MPs vote against the bill in the upcoming vote, which could be held as early as next week.
With some rural MPs under pressure to support the bill, Layton has said he would allow for a free vote.
