Yolande James recalls voting on Anastasia's law

After the Dawson shooting, new gun-control legislation was adopted at the National Assembly in 2007.

Bill 9, dubbed Anastasia's law, got unanimous support in the National Assembly.

It called for:

• The possession of firearms to be banned in schools and daycare centres, and on public and school transportation.
• $500 to $5,000 fines for contravening the law
• Teachers, gun club owners, and public transit and health-care workers to be required to report suspicious behaviour relating to firearms, even if it contradicts doctor-patient or any other confidentiality.
• The mandatory supervisionof target practice where restricted and banned firearms are in use.

On CBC Montreal News at 6 p.m., Debra Arbec spoke with political analyst Yolande James about whether Anastasia's law was strong enough at the time.
