Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Criminal Code and to make consequential amendments to other Acts ✓ Became Law
This enactment amends the Criminal Code in order to create a regime under which the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness may authorize an eligible person to carry out, in a geographic area that is controlled by a terrorist group and for certain purposes, activities that otherwise would be prohibited under paragraph 83.03(b) of that Act (which becomes subsection 83.03(2)). It also makes consequential amendments to other Acts.
This bill updates Canada's Criminal Code to create a specific system for allowing certain activities in areas controlled by terrorist groups. Normally, providing any support, services, or property to a terrorist group is illegal. However, this new law allows the Minister of Public Safety to grant permission for eligible individuals or organizations to carry out specific activities in these areas.
