REFORMING THE LAW ON FOREIGN INTERFERENCE – ONLINE PUBLIC CONSULTATION
November 24, 2023: The online public consultation is now open.
The Government of Canada is working to strengthen and enhance the measures in
place and bolster defences against foreign interference (FI). “Foreign
Interference” refers to when foreign states, or those acting on their behalf,
undertake activities that threaten people in Canada, their families elsewhere,
or activities that are covert and deceptive, and are harmful to Canada’s
national interests. A number of Canada's allies, including Australia and the
United Kingdom, have all recently taken steps to enhance their ability to
identify and counter foreign interference.
The Department of Justice Canada (Justice Canada) is consulting with the public
about possible improvements to our laws to better protect people in Canada
against the threats posed by FI.
Justice Canada welcomes your feedback until February 2, 2024.
The Government of Canada is considering possible changes to the Security of
Information Act (SOIA) and ways to modernize certain Criminal Code offences. It
is also considering whether to introduce a review mechanism in the Canada
Evidence Act (CEA) for certain cases involving sensitive information.
This consultation will help inform decision-making on whether to pursue
legislative reforms to address evolving FI threats. The key issues that are
being considered for improvement are set out below. A more detailed description
and explanation of these potential changes can be found within the consultation
paper itself.
Potential changes to SOIA:
* Whether to create new FI offences in the SOIA to address new types of
emerging threats;
* Whether to amend section 20 of the SOIA to make proving that offence
(foreign-influenced or terrorist-influenced threats or violence) more
straightforward; and
* Whether to amend section 22 (preparatory acts offence) of the SOIA to
increase the maximum penalty and to have it capture more threatening conduct
by applying it to other offences.
Potential changes to the Criminal Code:
* Whether to modernize Canada’s sabotage offence to reflect modern realities,
and add Charter safeguards to the offence; and
* Whether to introduce legislative reforms to address how national security
information is protected and used in criminal proceedings.
Possible changes to the CEA:
* Whether to create a general Secure Administrative Review Proceedings process
under the CEA to govern the protection, disclosure, and use of national
security information in judicial reviews and statutory appeals in the Federal
Court and Federal Court of Appeal.
* Whether to introduce legislative reforms to address how national security
information is protected and used in criminal proceedings.
For further information on FI, visit Public Safety Canada’s Foreign Interference
webpage.
