Sure. I will attempt to go slower, then. Thank you.
I just read the portion of sub 3.
(3) On ex parte application by the Minister, a judge may issue a warrant authorizing an officer to enter a dwelling-house, subject to the conditions that may be specified in the warrant, if the judge is satisfied by information on
oath or affirmation, which is fairly common boilerplate, that
(a) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the dwelling-house is a premises or place referred to in subsection (1)
It's fairly common in a warrant that you have to prove that there's a place where evidence is going to be found, which I believe is in part (c)—sorry, I may have skipped ahead—and
(b) entry into the dwelling-house is necessary for any purpose related to the administration or enforcement of this Act; and
Where I'm going here is the emphasis on “this act”. When it comes to the act at play, let's say that it is a contravention of another act other than this act, for instance, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Does that mean that a warrant could not be issued if that was the case? Do you get what I'm saying there now?
