Increasing the Identification of Criminals Through the Use of DNA Act
  • This bill aims to increase the use of DNA collection to identify criminals. It proposes amendments to the Criminal Code, Criminal Records Act, National Defence Act, and DNA Identification Act. The goal is to promote the DNA collection system and store more DNA profiles in the national DNA data bank. This will help law enforcement agencies in Canada identify individuals who have committed serious and violent crimes. The bill also recognizes the effectiveness of familial searching in solving crimes in other countries. The bill has passed its first reading in the Senate of Canada.
