Listed Entities Remain on Criminal Code List

Summary#

This is the Order Accepting the Recommendation of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness that Each Listed Entity Remain a Listed Entity: SI/2021-5 under the Criminal Code. It accepts the recommendation of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness that entities already on a federal list stay on that list. The order was registered on February 3, 2021 and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on February 17, 2021.

What it does#

• Formally accepts the minister’s recommendation that the entities already on a federal Criminal Code listing should remain listed.
• Keeps the existing listings in place; the Canada Gazette notice does not itself name which entities are affected or give further details.

Who's affected#

• The entities that are already on the relevant federal listing. (The Gazette item does not specify which ones.)
• People and organizations who interact with those listed entities — for example, business partners, charities, legal advisers, and researchers — may continue to be subject to whatever rules or restrictions already applied because of the listing.
• Law enforcement and government bodies that monitor or enforce listing-related measures.

Why it matters#

• It maintains the status quo: whatever legal or regulatory consequences were already attached to being on the list remain in effect for the listed entities.
• Because the notice does not name the entities or explain the practical effects, anyone who might be connected to a listed entity should check the full Canada Gazette entry or contact Public Safety Canada for the specific details.
