Bill C-321

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
May 30, 2024
An Act to amend the Criminal Code (assaults against persons who provide health services and first responders)
  • This bill is proposing a change to the Criminal Code that would make it an aggravating circumstance if a health care professional or first responder is the victim of an assault. This means that if someone is convicted of assaulting a health care professional or first responder, the fact that the victim is in that profession would be taken into account during sentencing. The purpose of this bill is to provide additional protection for those who care for and protect others, and to send a message that violence against them will not be tolerated.
