An external drive containing a copy of all Quebec gun registry data has been handed over, a federal court clerk has confirmed to CTV News.
A court spokesperson told CTV's Katie Simpson that the hard drive was transferred at approximately 9:25 on Tuesday morning, a little more than 30 minutes ahead of the court-imposed deadline.
The hard drive will be kept in a safe, the spokesperson said.
After a day-long hearing on Monday, federal court Judge Luc Martineau gave Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and the commissioner of the RCMP until 10 a.m. to deliver the hard drive.
