44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 13, 2023
- This bill amends the Criminal Code to make it an aggravating circumstance for sentencing purposes if someone takes advantage of a place that is under an evacuation order or experiencing a natural disaster or emergency to commit an offense. In simpler terms, if someone commits a crime during a time when people are being evacuated or during a natural disaster, the punishment will be more severe. The bill was introduced in June 2023 by Senator Ataullahjan and is available on the Senate of Canada website.
