Trudeau also announced that parents could look forward to seeing an additional $300 per child in this month's Canada Child Benefit.
Trudeau touched on criticism from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who had said that Trudeau's campaign for a gun buy-back program are resources that could be better allocated for better border security and smuggling, Trudeau said that his government would be moving forward with "stronger measures around borders" and safe storage.
"We know there's more to do, but we also know that there's no place in Canada for weapons designed to kill the largest amount of people in the shortest amount of time," said Trudeau.
