Obviously you didnt bother to read the first part of the article, which I will now quote for you:

The Conservative government’s firearms advisory committee, appointed and operating in virtual secrecy, is made up almost entirely of pro-gun advocates opposed to the firearms registry.

And how did the Star find this out? By public information given out by the Conservatives? Nope:

In background research obtained and confirmed by the Star, members of the Conservatives’ committee have shown themselves to be vocal proponents of gun use…Inquiries to Breitkreuz and the Public Safety department were referred to Day’s office, but Day was travelling and his officials responded with only general information.

It’s all there Aaron to tell you it was “secret”. As is usual with you and your Conservative Kool-Aid drinkers, you just ignored it.. or didnt bother to read it.
