Firearms and violent crime in Canada, 2016 / by Adam Cotter, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics.: CS85-005/2018-2E-PDF
"In 2016, violent Criminal Code offences accounted for about one in every five crimes that came to the attention of police. While firearm-related violent crime represents a small part of all crime in Canada in a given year, it nevertheless has a significant emotional and physical impact on victims, families, and communities. This Juristat Bulletin—Quick Fact provides information on recent trends in police-reported violent crime involving firearms, including changes since 2009, geographic variations over time and between regions, and the types of firearms involved. Of note, for an offence to be considered firearm-related, a firearm need only be present during the commission of the offence, not necessarily used"--Page 3.
