- This bill, called the Canadian Postal Safety Act, would allow police to search, seize, detain, and retain mail in the course of post to intercept contraband, including dangerous drugs, firearms, alcohol, and counterfeit items. Currently, police cannot lawfully do so under the Canada Post Corporation Act, which puts postal workers at risk of handling potentially dangerous items. The bill also makes related amendments to the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and the Cannabis Act. Its aim is to reduce drug trafficking in the mail to save lives and improve public safety.

The act also includes provisions related to collaboration with the disability community, appeals, and reviews.
