C-30 First Session, Forty-first Parliament, 60-61 Elizabeth II, 2011-2012 HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA BILL C-30 An Act to enact the Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act and to amend the Criminal Code and other Acts first reading, February 14, 2012 MINISTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY 90639 RECOMMENDATION His Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled “An Act to enact the Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act and to amend the Criminal Code and other Acts”. SUMMARY Part 1 enacts the Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act, which requires telecommunications service providers to put in place and maintain certain capabilities that facilitate the lawful interception of information transmitted by telecommunications and to provide basic information about their subscribers to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Commissioner of Competition and any police service constituted under the laws of a province. Part 2 amends the Criminal Code in respect of authorizations to intercept private communications, warrants and orders and adds to that Act new investigative powers in relation to computer crime and the use of new technologies in the commission of crimes. Among other things, it (a) provides that if an authorization is given under certain provisions of Part VI, the judge may at the same time issue a warrant or make an order that relates to the investigation in respect of which the authorization is given; (b) provides that the rules respecting confidentiality that apply in respect of a request for an authorization to intercept private communications also apply in respect of a request for a related warrant or order; (c) requires the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to report on the interceptions of private communications made without authorizations; (d) provides that a person who has been the object of an interception made without an authorization must be notified of the interception within a specified period; (e) permits a peace officer or a public officer, in certain circumstances, to install and make use of a number recorder without a warrant; (f) extends to one year the maximum period of validity of a warrant for a tracking device and a number recorder if the warrant is issued in respect of a terrorism offence or an offence relating to a criminal organization; (g) provides the power to make preservation demands and orders to compel the preservation of electronic evidence; (h) provides new production orders to compel the production of data relating to the transmission of communications and the location of transactions, individuals or things; (i) provides a warrant to obtain transmission data that will extend to all means of telecommunication the investigative powers that are currently restricted to data associated with telephones; and (j) provides warrants that will enable the tracking of transactions, individuals and things and that are subject to legal thresholds appropriate to the interests at stake. It also amends offences in the Criminal Code relating to hate propaganda and its communication over the Internet, false information, indecent communications, harassing communications, devices used to obtain telecommunication services without payment and devices used to obtain the unauthorized use of computer systems or to commit mischief. Part 2 also amends the Competition Act to make applicable, for the purpose of enforcing certain provisions of that Act, the new provisions being added to the Criminal Code respecting demands and orders for the preservation of computer data and orders for the production of documents relating to the transmission of communications or financial data. It also modernizes the provisions of the Act relating to electronic evidence and provides for more effective enforcement in a technologically advanced environment. Lastly, it amends the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act to make some of the new investigative powers being added to the Criminal Code available to Canadian authorities executing incoming requests for assistance and to allow the Commissioner of Competition to execute search warrants under the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act. Part 3 contains coordinating amendments and coming-into-force provisions.

Payment (2) The amount must be paid by the agency that received the specialized telecommunications support. Mandatory reporting — acquisition of transmission apparatus 30. (1) A telecommunications service pro-vider that acquires transmission apparatus referred to in subsection 10(2) must, before using it in providing telecommunications serv-ices, submit to the Minister a report in the prescribed form and manner containing the following information: (a) the prescribed information concerning the extent to which the service provider meets operational requirements in respect of the transmission apparatus; and (b) any prescribed information relevant to the administration of this Act.

Signator of statement (4) The statement must be signed (a) if the telecommunications service provid-er is a corporation, by one of its officers or directors; and (b) in any other case, by an individual who is an owner of the telecommunications service provider or by an officer or a director of a corporation that is an owner of the telecommunications service provider. No redundant performance required 31.

Considerations (2) Before making or amending such a regulation, the Governor in Council must consider (a) the extent to which the exemption would adversely affect national security or law enforcement; (b) whether the telecommunications service providers can comply with the obligations from which they would be exempted; (c) whether the costs of compliance with those obligations would have an unreasonable adverse effect on the business of the telecommunications service providers; and (d) whether compliance with those obligations would unreasonably impair the provision of telecommunications services to Canadians or the competitiveness of the Canadian telecommunications industry. Conditions and term of regulation (3) In the regulation, the Governor in Council may include any conditions that the Governor in Council considers appropriate and must fix its term for a period of not more than two years. Exemptions related to section 10 or 11 (4) When a regulation under which a telecommunications service provider is exempted from an obligation under section 10 or 11 expires or is repealed, section 10 or 11, as the case may be, applies to the telecommunications service provider that was exempted as of the date of expiry or repeal as if the exemption had never been made. ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT Designation 33. (1) The Minister may designate persons or classes of persons as inspectors for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of this Act.

Authority to issue warrant (2) On ex parte application, a justice of the peace may issue a warrant authorizing the inspector to enter a dwelling-house, subject to any conditions specified in the warrant, if the justice is satisfied by information on oath that (a) the dwelling-house is a place referred to in subsection 34(1); (b) entry to the dwelling-house is necessary for a purpose related to verifying compliance with this Act; and (c) entry was refused by the occupant or there are reasonable grounds to believe that entry will be refused by, or that consent to entry cannot be obtained from, the occupant. Entry onto private property 36.

Designation 40. For the purposes of any of sections 39 and 41 to 53, the Minister may designate persons or classes of persons to exercise powers in relation to any matter referred to in the designation. Notices of Violation Issuance and service 41. (1) A designated person may issue a notice of violation and cause it to be served on a person if they believe on reasonable grounds that the person has committed a violation. Contents of notice (2) The Minister may establish the form and content of notices of violation, but each notice of violation must (a) set out the name of the person believed to have committed the violation; (b) identify the violation; (c) set out the penalty that the person is liable to pay; (d) inform the person that they may, within 30 days after the day on which the notice is served or within any longer period specified in it, either pay the penalty set out in the notice or make representations with respect to the alleged violation or penalty — including any representations about entering into a compliance agreement — and set out the manner for doing so; and (e) inform the person that, if they fail to pay the penalty or make representations in accordance with the notice, they will be considered to have committed the violation and the penalty will be imposed. Criteria for penalty (3) The amount of a penalty is, in each case, to be determined taking into account the following matters: (a) that administrative monetary penalties have as their purpose to encourage compliance rather than to punish; (b) the nature and scope of the violation; (c) the person’s history of prior violations or convictions — or compliance agreements entered into — under this Act during the five-year period immediately before the violation; (d) the cumulative amount of the penalties that may be imposed for any violation in respect of which section 48 applies; (e) any prescribed criteria; and (f) any other relevant matter. Determination of Responsibility and Penalty Options 42. (1) A person who is served with a notice of violation must, in accordance with the notice, pay the penalty set out in the notice or make representations with respect to the amount of the penalty or the acts or omissions that constitute the alleged violation. Deemed violation (2) A person is deemed to have committed the violation if they either pay the penalty in accordance with the notice of violation or do not pay the penalty and do not make representations in accordance with the notice of violation. Making representations 43. (1) The person alleged to have committed a violation may make representations to a designated person other than the one who issued the notice of violation. Compliance agreement or decision (2) The designated person to whom the representations are made must either (a) enter into a compliance agreement with the person on behalf of the Minister; or (b) decide on a balance of probabilities whether the person committed the violation and, if so, impose the penalty set out in the notice of violation, a lesser penalty or no penalty, taking into account the matters mentioned in subsection 41(3). The designated person must cause notice of any decision made under paragraph (b) to be issued and served on the person together with written reasons for the decision and notice of the person’s right of appeal under subsection 44(1). Terms of compliance agreements (3) A compliance agreement (a) may include any terms that the designated person considers appropriate including a requirement that the person alleged to have committed a violation give reasonable securi-ty — in a form and an amount that the designated person considers satisfactory — for the person’s performance of the agreement; and (b) must provide for payment by the person alleged to have committed a violation to the Receiver General of a specified amount not greater than the penalty set out in the notice of violation if the person does not comply with the agreement. Agreement ends proceedings (4) Entry into a compliance agreement ends the violation proceedings and precludes any further violation or offence proceedings in relation to the act or omission in question. If agreement not complied with (5) The Minister may issue and serve a notice of default on a person who has entered into a compliance agreement but has not complied with it. On service of the notice, the person is liable to pay without delay the amount provided for in the agreement, failing which, the Minister may realize any security for the person’s performance of the agreement. Appeal to Minister Right of appeal 44. (1) A person served with notice of a decision made under paragraph 43(2)(b) may, within 30 days after the day on which the notice is served or within any longer period that the Minister allows in accordance with the regulations, appeal the decision to the Minister. Powers of Minister (2) On an appeal, the Minister may confirm, set aside or vary the decision of the designated person. Rules About Violations Vicarious liability — acts of employees, agents and mandataries 45. A person is liable for a violation that is committed by the person’s employee acting in the course of his or her employment or the person’s agent or mandatary acting within the scope of his or her authority, whether or not the employee, agent or mandatary who actually committed the violation is identified or proceeded against. Officers of corporations, etc. 46. An officer, director, agent or mandatary of a person other than an individual that commits a violation is a party to the violation if he or she directed, authorized, assented to, acquiesced in or participated in the commission of the violation and is liable to the administrative monetary penalty provided for that violation whether or not the person that committed the violation has been proceeded against under sections 41 to 43. For greater certainty, an officer or director, or any agent or mandatary who is an individual, is liable only to the penalty provided in respect of an individual. Defence of due diligence 47. A person is not liable for a violation if they establish that they exercised due diligence to prevent the commission of the violation. Continuing violation 48.

Violation not an offence (2) For greater certainty, a violation is not an offence. Non-application of section 126 of Criminal Code (3) Section 126 of the Criminal Code does not apply in respect of any obligation or prohibition under this Act whose contravention is a violation under this Act. Admissibility of documents 51. In any proceeding, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, a document that appears to be a notice issued under subsection 41(1) or 43(2) or (5) or a certificate issued under subsection 53(1) is presumed to be authentic and is proof of its contents. Recovery of Penalties and Other Amounts Debts to Her Majesty 52. (1) A penalty imposed under this Act and an amount referred to in subsection 43(5) each constitute a debt due to Her Majesty in right of Canada and may be recovered in the Federal Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Limitation period or prescription (2) No proceedings to recover such a debt may be commenced later than five years after the day on which the debt became payable. Proceeds payable to Receiver General (3) Each such debt is payable to the Receiver General. Certificate 53. (1) The Minister may issue a certificate certifying the unpaid amount of any debt referred to in subsection 52(1). Registration in Federal Court (2) Registration in the Federal Court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction of the certificate has the same effect as a judgment of that court for a debt of the amount specified in the certificate and all related registration costs.

Officers of corporations, etc. 60. If a person other than an individual commits an offence under this Act, every officer, director, agent or mandatary of the person who directed, authorized, assented to, acquiesced in or participated in the commission of the offence is a party to and guilty of the offence and liable on conviction to the punishment provided for the offence whether or not the person that committed the offence has been prosecuted or convicted. For greater certainty, an officer or director, or any agent or mandatary who is an individual, is liable only to the punishment provided in respect of an individual. Continuing offence 61. If an offence under this Act is committed or continued on more than one day, the person who committed the offence is liable to be convicted for a separate offence for each day on which the offence is committed or continued. Limitation period or prescription 62. Proceedings in respect of an offence under this Act may be instituted at any time within, but not later than, two years after the day on which the subject matter of the proceedings arose.
