Hello gentlemen

Recieved this info direct from RCMP, may help a bit.
Dan

** High Priority **
Thank you for your correspondence.

Firearms are exempt from the requirements of the Firearms Act if theRegistrar of Firearms is satisfied that the firearms have been madeincapable of discharging projectiles that can cause serious injury ordeath and therefore, no longer meet the definition of a firearm.

The Registrar has developed new guidelines to ensure that firearms aresufficiently modified to be exempt from the definition of a firearm.Businesses and individuals whose firearms have been deactivatedaccording to the guidelines are protected from criminal liability forpossessing those firearms without a valid licence or registrationcertificate.

The regulations pertaining to the safe storage and transportation offirearms do not apply to firearms that have been deregistered due todeactivation. It remains important, however, to store and transport themsafely to deter loss or theft.

If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us bye-mail or call our office at 1-800-731-4000.

Thank you.

Essentially, a dewat is no longer classified or treated as a firearm, unless you do something stupid with it...like point it at someone, hold up your local 7-11, etc

IE: it is not ILLEGAL to mount a dewat of any sort on an MV and go for a drive. However, I will agree, it may not always be prudent to do so...

Did you ask him if the deactivated firearms are still considered as "non guns" ? Thats the important part for your own safety.
