Quebec Police Ignore the Gun Registry

It's a bit ironic that while Quebec remains the only province in favour of maintaining the Gun Registry, law enforcement in that province hardly uses the daatbase at all. In fact in terms of per capita use, Quebec ranks below every other province and territory, except Nunavut.

Yvan Delorme, chiel of the Montreal police department argues that maintaining the firearm registery is "critical," yet his officers hardly use it at all.
Per capita, for every inquiry made by law enforcement in Quebec, BC makes ten!
