Regulations on long-bladed weapons are set to be in place before the new year.

After consulting with various community leaders from the province, Justice Minister Matt Wiebe says the Long-Bladed Weapon Control Act will be in place for the 31st of December.

This will require retailers to retain records, including purchaser information and transaction details, for at least two years.

It will also require retailers to store such weapons securely, and prohibit them from selling to minors.

Further clarification makes sure that kitchen knives, yard tools, and any type of saw do not fall under this act.
