Amendments to List of Entities Regulations

Summary#

These are final regulations called Regulations Amending the Regulations Establishing a List of Entities: SOR/2021-8 under the Criminal Code. The instrument was registered on February 3, 2021 and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II on February 17, 2021. The short notice supplied here does not include the text that says which specific entities were added or removed.

What it does#

• Amends the Regulations Establishing a List of Entities.
• The Gazette entry provided to me does not show the specific changes (for example, which organizations were added to or removed from the list).
• To see the exact changes you would need the full text of the regulation (the URL in your request points to that official text).

Who's affected#

• Any organizations that were added to or removed from the official list in this amendment.
• Businesses and financial institutions that deal with those organizations (banks, brokers, payment services).
• Charities, non-profits, lawyers, and individuals who have financial or other relationships with the named entities.
• If the source text is not clear, it is not possible from the supplied material to name the specific groups or persons affected.

Why it matters#

• Being on the list typically means tougher legal limits: assets can be frozen and many kinds of dealings can be prohibited.
• That can affect banks, service providers, charities, and ordinary people who have ties to a named group.
• Because the short Gazette excerpt here does not show the actual list changes, anyone potentially affected should check the full regulation text (or official notices) to see precisely which entities were changed.
