Criminal Code Entity List Amended

Summary#

This is a final regulation titled Regulations Amending the Regulations Establishing a List of Entities (registration SOR/2024-236) made under the Criminal Code. It was registered on November 29, 2024 and published in the Canada Gazette on December 18, 2024. The short notice provided here does not include the full text of the actual changes.

What it does#

• It amends the existing Regulations Establishing a List of Entities (the rule that sets out a formal list of named entities under the Criminal Code).
• The Canada Gazette entry for this instrument indicates the amendment was finalized, but the excerpt available here does not show which additions, removals, or wording changes were made.
• For the precise changes (the names added or removed, or the exact wording amended), you need to read the full regulation text in the Canada Gazette item.

Who's affected#

• The specific organizations or people affected are not named in the text provided here.
• In general, amendments to a list of entities under the Criminal Code would directly affect:
  • Any organization that is added to or removed from the list.
  • Individuals, businesses, or service providers that deal with those organizations (for example, funders, banks, or contractors).
  • Government enforcement or compliance bodies that apply the list.
• Because the excerpt lacks the detailed amendments, we cannot identify exact entities or groups by name.

Why it matters#

• Changes to a government list tied to the Criminal Code can change legal and practical risks for the named organizations and anyone who interacts with them.
• Being placed on or taken off such a list can affect access to funds, contractual relationships, and how law enforcement or regulatory bodies treat an organization.
• The provided Gazette excerpt does not include the specific amendments, so to understand the real-world effects you should consult the full SOR/2024-236 text in the Canada Gazette.
