I did turn my mind to this briefly in preparation.
As you likely know, those definitions of peace officer and public officer appear in section 2 of the Criminal Code. You have to be cautious because they apply throughout the code in hundreds of sections. When you look at the eight powers that are proposed under the lawful access provisions of Bill C-13, as I've said, seven of those are judicial authorizations. They require “informations to obtain”, these documents of dozens or hundreds of pages of justification. In reality, people who are not professional investigators are not able to meet that standard. But the one section that perhaps is amenable to use for other officials is the preservation demand, which is simply to preserve data without seizing it. That's the one provision that may be amenable to use by a broad range of officials.
Now just as a final note about the definitions, if you look at section 2 of the Criminal Code under “public official”, expecting that person to be is some kind of bureaucrat, in fact you will find that members of the RCMP fall under that part of the definition. So you have to be very careful about the effect of that definition throughout the Criminal Code.
