Canadian PM Trudeau announces new law to “freeze” sales on handgun

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government introduced new legislation that would put a freeze on importing, buying, or selling handguns.
Trudeau invoked a string of mass shootings in Canada over the past decades, as well as recent attacks in the United States, as part of his government’s impetus to introduce Bill C-21.

About ‘freeze’ handgun ownership :

The bill would allow for the removal of gun licenses from people involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking.
The bill would create a new red flag law allowing courts to require that people considered a danger to themselves or others surrender their firearms to police.
The measure would guard the safety of those applying through the process, often women in danger of domestic abuse, by protecting their identities.
The law will require rifle magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds and will ban the sale and transfer of large-capacity magazines under the Criminal Code.

Additional Info :

In 2020, Trudeau’s government banned more than 1,500 models and variants of “assault-style” firearms which include AR-15 & Ruger Mini-14.
Canada has stronger gun ownership laws than the United States.
According to the Statistics Canada report, since 2009, the per capita rate of firearms being pointed at someone in the commission of a crime has nearly tripled, and the rate at which guns are fired with intent to kill or wound is up fivefold.

Govt releases Rs 86,912 crore to states & clears GST compensation dues

The Government of India has released the entire amount of GST compensation payable to States up by releasing an amount of Rs.86,912 crores.
It was taken to assist the States in managing their resources and ensuring that their programs, especially the expenditure on capital are carried out successfully during the financial year.
This decision has been taken although only about 25,000 crore is available in the GST Compensation Fund.
The balance is being released by the Centre from its resources pending collection of Cess.

Dues	Amount (in Rupees)
Dues for April & May, 2022	Rs.17,973 crores
Dues for February and March 2022	Rs.21,322 crores
Balance of compensation payable up to January 2022	Rs.47,617 crores

Key Highlights :

As per current rules, New Delhi is mandated to compensate states until June 30 for any loss in revenue under the GST.
Following the adoption of the GST on July 1, 2017, the government expected a yearly revenue increase of 14%.
To compensate governments for lost income, a cess was imposed on a variety of luxury commodities and so-called sin goods to raise funds.
Due to the pandemic, economic recovery slowed down & which impacted the cess collections, resulting in an inadequate balance in the cess fund.
To meet the resource gap of the states due to the short release of compensation, the Centre has borrowed and released ₹1 lakh crore in 2020-21 and ₹1.59 lakh crore in 2021-22 as back-to-back loans to meet a part of the shortfall in cess collection.
