The appellant appealed his convictions for unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon and other firearm-related offences.
The Crown conceded that the indictment incorrectly charged possession of a 'prohibited weapon' instead of a 'prohibited firearm' and requested an amendment.
The Court of Appeal granted the amendment under section 683(1)(g) of the Criminal Code, finding no prejudice to the appellant.
The appellant also argued the trial judge erred in finding the stolen firearms were operable.
The Court dismissed this ground, noting the owner's testimony and photographic evidence supported the finding of operability.
The appeal was dismissed.
