An Act To Amend The Criminal Code (hate Propaganda)
''An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda)'', also known as ''Bill C-250'' during the second and third sessions of the 37th Canadian parliament, originated in a Canadian Private Member's Bill to amend the ''Criminal Code''. It added penalties for publicly inciting hatred against or encouraging the genocide of people on the basis of sexual orientation and added a defence for the expression of good-faith opinions based on religious texts. Content Prior to this amendment, the Criminal Code prohibited the promotion of genocide and the public incitement of hatred against groups identifiable by colour, race, religion, and ethnic origin. The ''Act'' expanded coverage of these existing provisions to include groups identifiable on the basis of sexual orientation. The ''Act'' also expanded one of the defences available to persons charged with the incitement of hatred, allowing for the expression of good-faith opinions based on religious texts, in addition to the preexisting de ...

An Act To Amend The Criminal Code (minimum Sentence For Offences Involving Trafficking Of Persons Under The Age Of Eighteen Years)
''An Act to amend the Criminal Code (minimum sentence for offences involving trafficking of persons under the age of eighteen years)'' (the ''Act'') was a private member's bill that was enacted on June 29, 2010, by the 40th Canadian Parliament. Until that time, no other private member's bill had passed since the 2008 Canadian federal election. The bill that led to the '' Act'', Bill C-268, was sponsored by Joy Smith, Member of Parliament for Kildonan—St. Paul. The act established a mandatory sentencing of five years' imprisonment for those charged with the trafficking of children within Canada. Before the bill was passed, there was already a maximum sentence for trafficking children in the country, but there was no minimum sentence. A previous attempt to have the bill passed had failed because of prorogation. At the first and second readings, the Bloc Québécois was the only political party that opposed the bill. Anti-pornography activist Judy Nuttall had tried to get the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
An Act To Amend The Criminal Code (trafficking In Persons)
''An Act to amend the Criminal Code (trafficking in persons)'' (commonly known as Bill C-310) is a statute passed by the Canadian Parliament in 2012. It amended the ''Criminal Code'' to enable the Government of Canada to prosecute Canadians for trafficking in persons while outside of Canada. Joy Smith, Member of Parliament for Kildonan—St. Paul in Manitoba, introduced Bill C-310 as a private member's bill in the fall of 2011. Smith hoped that the bill would help combat human trafficking globally in a way that could not be accomplished by simply addressing issues relating to border control and immigration to Canada. The first reading of the bill took place on October 3 of that year during the 41st Canadian Parliament. Although private member's bills rarely are enacted, Bill C-310 was passed by Parliament and received royal assent on June 28, 2012. During debates in the House of Commons on the bill, it received broad support across party lines. On April 27, 2012, the bill wa ...

An Act To Amend The Criminal Code (offences Relating To Conveyances)
''An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences relating to conveyances) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts'', also known as Bill C-46, is an act of the Parliament of Canada that was introduced in the House of Commons by Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould in 2017, alongside the ''Cannabis Act''. The act increases police powers related to impaired driving—including authorizing mandatory alcohol screening, without suspicion that the person is impaired—and it increases the maximum punishments for driving related offences in the Criminal Code. Provisions The act creates a criminal offence related to the concentration of a drug in a person's blood while driving, specific blood concentration levels that would be illegal would be prescribed in regulations by the Governor in Council.
