Globe and Mail: Harper government delays firearms marking regulations

[tuvor]

The Harper government has once again delayed implementation of regulations that police say they need to quickly trace guns used in crimes.

One day before the regulations were to have come into force, the government quietly posted a notice saying they've been postponed until Dec. 1, 2012.
