NDP leader Jack Layton is floating a last-minute compromise to save the long-gun registry.
Layton wants to introduce legislation that would address some of the complaints about the registry and potentially stave off a final vote on a private member's bill that would kill the program altogether.
The bill passed second reading last fall in a narrow vote that saw eight Liberals and 12 New Democrats, including Thunder Bay-Rainy River's John Rafferty, siding with the Tories.
