CONT

The presumption of sanity dispenses with a requirement that the government include as an element of every criminal charge al allegation that the defendant had the capacity to form the mens rea necessary for conviction and criminal responsibility.

CONT

For the reasons given by McLachlin J. in Chaulk, the presumption of sanity in s. 16(4) of the Code, reflecting as it does the fundamental pre-condition of criminal responsibility and punishment, does not violate s. 11(d) of the Charter.

Subject field(s)
  • National and International Security

CONT

Emerging Threats : Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Terrorism. The threat of terrorist or criminal use of nuclear, biological and chemical(NBC) weapons in Canada is considered low; however, the potential consequences of such an event could be so significant that national capabilities may be called upon to support local responders. While the main focus of our efforts must be on prevention, prudence dictates that local communities should have a capacity to respond to the consequences of an NBC terrorist incident.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité nationale et internationale
  • Opérations CBRNE
CONT

Nouvelles menaces : Terrorisme nucléaire, biologique et chimique. On considère qu'au Canada, le risque d'utilisation d'armes nucléaires, biologiques ou chimiques (NBC) par des terroristes ou des criminels est faible. Cependant, si cela se produisait, les conséquences d'un tel acte seraient si graves qu'il serait peut-être nécessaire de faire appel aux ressources nationales pour porter main-forte aux intervenants locaux. Bien que nos efforts doivent être axés sur la prévention, la prudence exige que les collectivités locales se dotent de la capacité nécessaire pour réagir aux conséquences d'un acte terroriste perpétré au moyen d'une arme nucléaire, biologique ou chimique.
