Proposed paragraph 196.1(5)(a) concerns extensions of the notification period in relation to offences under sections 467.11, 467.12 and 467.13 of the Criminal Code, which are the three existing criminal organization offences.
However, Bill C-394, which is also before this committee, would create a distinct criminal organization offence, recruitment of members by a criminal organization, which would be new section 467.11 of the Criminal Code.
In your view, is there a reason why this proposed offence should be treated differently from other criminal organization offences, for the purposes of extending the notification period? If not, what amendments need to be made?
