He doesn't need to wait for Parliament approval. He's Teh King of Canada.
A ban on importing handguns to Canada passed by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau without a parliamentary vote came into effect on Friday as part of a broader crackdown on gun rights.
The Trudeau government announced that imports of handguns to Canada would be halted earlier this month, with Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino stating that the current ban is temporary until a permanent ban can be passed in the Canadian parliament.
On Friday the import ban came into effect, ostensibly to limit the number of handguns coming into Canada, the CBC reports.
The government put less emphasis on the number of shootings where the firearm used was held illegally rather than legally, however.
Raquel Dancho of the Canadian Conservative Party, who serves as public safety critic, stressed that the move to ban the import of legal handguns would go after the general law-abiding public rather than tackle the illegal smuggling of guns.

This move shouldn't surprise anyone.
