2022 年 9 月 26 日，阿尔伯塔省司法部长兼总检察长宣布，该省将寻求在六起正在进行的诉讼中推进法律论证，这些诉讼涉及与联邦枪支禁令相关的宪法和非宪法法律问题。On September 26, 2022, Alberta’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General announced that the province would seek to advance legal arguments in six ongoing lawsuits concerning constitutional and non-constitutional legal issues related to the federal firearms ban.

2023 年 1 月 11 日，联邦法院授予艾伯塔省干预违宪问题的权力。联邦政府告知联邦法院，在法院要求他们反对干预的那一天，他们不会反对艾伯塔省的申请。On January 11, 2023, the Federal Court granted Alberta the ability to intervene on the non-constitutional issues. The Federal government advised the Federal Court they would not oppose Alberta’s application the day their opposition to the intervention was required by the court.

“联邦枪支禁令将数十万持有联邦政府任意禁止的枪支的守法加拿大人定为犯罪——仅仅因为枪支的‘风格’被加拿大公共安全部的官僚认为在美学上令人不快.我很高兴艾伯塔省有机会在法庭上为数以万计受到这项禁令影响的艾伯塔人辩护。”“The federal firearms ban criminalizes hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Canadians who are in possession of firearms that the federal government has arbitrarily banned – simply because the ‘style’ of the firearm was deemed to be aesthetically displeasing by bureaucrats in Public Safety Canada. I am pleased that Alberta has been granted an opportunity to defend the tens of thousands of Albertans who are personally affected by this ban in a court of law.”

各省有自动干预宪法事务的权利。在非宪法问题上，各省必须征求法院的许可。Provinces have the automatic right to intervene on constitutional matters.  On non-constitutional issues, provinces must seek the permission of the court.

这些诉讼提出了重大公共利益问题，涉及加拿大合法拥有枪支、对《刑法》的正确解释，以及授予加拿大总督会同理事会的监管制定权的范围。通过干预，艾伯塔省将能够辩称联邦政府的立法超出了其管辖范围，并将侵犯该省守法枪支社区的权利。The lawsuits raise questions of significant public interest respecting the lawful ownership of firearms in Canada, the proper interpretation of the Criminal Code, and the scope of the regulatory making powers granted to Canada’s Governor in Council. By intervening, Alberta will be able to argue that the federal government’s legislation is an overreach of its jurisdiction and will infringe on the rights of the province’s law-abiding firearms community.

“联邦政府的立法修正案将导致负责任的枪支拥有者在没有改善公共安全的情况下失去财产。我已敦促联邦政府重新考虑这些修正案，并将继续倡导保护公共安全和财产权的法律。”“The federal government’s legislative amendments would result in responsible firearms owners losing their property without improving public safety. I have urged the federal government to reconsider these amendments, and will continue to advocate for laws that protect both public safety and property rights.”

Teri Bryant，首席枪械官__Teri Bryant, chief firearms officer

艾伯塔省将于 2 月初向联邦法院提交书面论据。这些诉讼定于 2023 年 4 月 11 日至 20 日开庭审理。Alberta will submit its written argument to the federal court in early February. The lawsuits are scheduled to be heard April 11 to 20, 2023.
