Bill S-255

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 13, 2023
An Act to amend the Criminal Code (murder of an intimate partner, one's own child or an intimate partner's child)
  • A proposed law in Canada would change the Criminal Code to make the murder of a partner or a child, either one's own or a partner's, automatically considered first degree murder. This means that such murders would be considered the most serious, regardless of whether the act was planned in advance or not. The bill was introduced in the Senate of Canada and can be found on their website.
