Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) ((フランス語:Programme canadien des armes à feu)) (''PCAF''), formerly Canada Firearms Centre is a Canadian government program within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Policing Support Services, responsible for licensing and regulating firearms in Canada. As of December 2014, the Canadian Firearms Program recorded a total of 1,989,181 valid firearms licences, which is roughly 5.7% of the Canadian population (based on CIA World Factbook July 2014 estimate). The four most licensed provinces are, in order, Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia.〔(Facts and Figures )〕 ==History== Bill C-68: ''An Act Respecting Firearms and Other Weapons'' was assented in 1995, two years after the bill was introduced by the government to the House of Commons in targeting firearms licensing and registration. CFC was officially created and began operation in 1996 to oversee the administration of the ''Firearms Act'' and the Canadian Firearms Program.〔(Commissioner of Firearms: 2007 Report )〕 On May 17, 2006, responsibility for the Canadian Firearms Program was transferred from the Ministry of Public Safety to the RCMP. On September 4, 2008, the Canada Firearms Centre and the Firearms Support Services Directorate of RCMP was merged to create the Canadian Firearms Program. CFP celebrated the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Central Processing Site in Miramichi, New Brunswick, in 2008.〔(10th anniversary of the Canadian Firearms Program’s Central Processing Site, Miramichi, N.B. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Firearms Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
