Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to create new offences in relation to trafficking in human organs. It also amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to provide that a permanent resident or foreign national is inadmissible to Canada if the appropriate minister is of the opinion that they have engaged in any activities relating to trafficking in human organs.
Bill S-223 proposes to expand the duties of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) members who are peace officers. Currently, their duties include enforcing federal and provincial laws. This bill would add the responsibility of preventing offenses against First Nation laws and executing warrants issued under First Nation laws. This change aims to better support Indigenous communities in their law enforcement efforts.
