OTTAWA — A new poll suggests Quebecers are alone in wanting to save the long-gun registry.

Most Canadians outside the province appear content to abolish it.

The findings in the latest survey by The Canadian Press Harris-Decima come a week after the House of Commons gave approval in principle to a private member’s bill aimed at killing the controversial registry.

In Quebec, a majority of respondents — 56 per cent — say they’re opposed to abolishing the registry.

But majorities in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba-Saskatchewan support getting rid of it, with Ontario split on the issue.

The telephone survey of just over 1,000 people was conducted Nov. 5-8 and is considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
