This is a consequential amendment. It proposes a technical amendment to the English version of clause 9. The proposed amendment would address a discrepancy between the English and French versions of the proposed offence. The amendment would make clear in both languages that the requirement to join a criminal organization must be for the criminal organization that will be enhanced. It would do so by amending the English to read, “to join the criminal organization”. This is the intent of the provision. It is captured by the French version, but not by the English version. The intent is also consistent with the provision of section 467.11, the organized crime participation offence. It is a consequential amendment.
