The Quebec government marked the anniversary of Canada's worst mass shooting by reiterating its intention to create its own gun registry.

Public Security Minister Stéphane Bergeron said Thursday it will happen once Ottawa turns over Quebec data from the now-defunct federal long-gun registry.

Alexa Conradi, president of the Quebec Women's Federation, welcomed the confirmation at a rally at the Montreal courthouse, as dozens commemorated the 23rd anniversary of the 1989 killing of 14 women at the École polytech-nique by Marc Lépine.
