To meet this demand, temporary licences are being issued to eligible firearm owners. Public safety remains the cornerstone of the firearms program. Temporary licences are only being issued to those who are successfully screened against Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) databases. And, like all other firearm licence holders, those with temporary firearms licences will be continuously screened against police databases. These public safety checks conform to the Firearms Act and keep firearms away from those who should not have them. Temporary licence holders are not permitted to acquire firearms. However, they will be in legal possession of their firearms and they will be able to get ammunition. Temporary licences are only valid until June 30, 2001 or until those eligible receive their five-year licence. TEMPORARY FIREARMS UCENCE .... WV. 00411•111.4 w.
