moved for leave to introduce Bill C-406, an act to amend the Criminal Code (search and seizure without warrant).
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of this private member's bill is twofold. It is to amend section 139 of the Firearms Act to first of all remove the power to search and seize weapons without a warrant when there is no evidence that an offence has been committed or suspected to have been committed.
Second, when a search has taken place and if unnecessary damage has been committed restitution will be paid.
