The buyback's business portal turned retailers into deadline managers, inventory clerks, and support-ticket writers. That is not background admin. It is the policy.
Advocacy
E-petition e-7232 closed with 10,353 validated signatures and a better public-safety instinct: stop processing licensed owners and fund the harder problems.
Advocacy
Q-1053 shows the buyback can find licensed owners well enough to process them, but not readily describe who is actually in the program.
Advocacy

Advocacy
