An Act to amend the Criminal Code (controlling or coercive conduct)
  • Bill C-332 is an amendment to the Criminal Code in Canada.

The amendment also specifies the types of connections between individuals that would qualify for this offence, including spousal relationships, dating partners, or members of the same household.

The punishment for this offence can range from imprisonment for up to five years for an indictable offence or a summary conviction.

May 31, 2023
An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Judges Act and the Director of Public Prosecutions Act (orders prohibiting publication of identifying information)
  • Bill C-334 aims to amend the Criminal Code, the Judges Act, and the Director of Public Prosecutions Act in relation to orders prohibiting the publication of identifying information. The bill seeks to improve communications with victims before and after a court makes an order to protect their identity. It prohibits such orders from being made without the victim's consent if the victim has been consulted beforehand. The bill also establishes a procedure for revoking or varying these orders. In cases of adult victims of sexual offenses, the court may revoke or vary the order if prompted by the victim's impact statement. Additionally, the bill mandates training for federally appointed judges and prosecutors on the impact of these orders on victims of sexual offenses.
