moved for leave to introduce Bill C-245, an act to amend the Criminal Code (search and seizure without warrant).
Mr. Speaker, this bill would rescind part of Bill C-68, a bill that was introduced by the government some time ago.
What the bill would specifically do is remove the unusual search and seizure provisions put forth in Bill C-68 and bring them more into line with other search and seizure provisions, which is certainly something Canadians have asked for.
In the case of unreasonable damage being done during a search process, the bill would ensure that the individual involved would be compensated. It would fix part of what was put in place through Bill C-68, the gun bill, which was unfair.
