Gun control program to be shifted from Justice to the Solicitor General   Canadian Press Friday, February 21, 2003 CREDIT: (CP)   Sources say Justice Minister Martin Cauchon will announce Friday that the federal gun control program will be administered by the Solicitor General. (CP)   OTTAWA (CP) - Responsibility for the federal gun control program is about to be shifted. Sources say Justice Minister Martin Cauchon will announce Friday that it will be administered by the Solicitor General, who is also responsible for the RCMP. The auditor general has said the cost of the program could rise to $1 billion from the original $2 million estimated by the Liberal government when the program was announced. The gun control registry has been denied further money by Parliament, but critics note it continues to function. A bureaucrat, asking not to be identified, says the Solicitor General's Department is a natural fit for gun control because of its day-to-day contact with law enforcement. Responsibility would be transferred from the Justice Department on April 1. � Copyright  2003 The Canadian Press Copyright � 2003 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp.
