English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Federal Laws and Regulations (Canadian)
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
OBS

The Narcotic Control Regulations(NCR) fall under the authority of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act(CDSA). The CDSA and its regulations provide a framework for the control of substances that can alter mental processes and that may produce harm to an individual or to society when diverted to an illicit market. Scheduling substances under the CDSA provides law enforcement agencies with the authority to take action against illicit activities with those substances.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Titres de lois et de règlements fédéraux canadiens
  • Drogues et toxicomanie
OBS

Le Règlement sur les stupéfiants est appliqué en vertu de la Loi réglementant certaines drogues et autres substances (LRCDAS). La LRCDAS et les règlements afférents fournissent un cadre législatif de contrôle des substances qui peuvent altérer les processus mentaux et nuire à la santé des personnes et à la société lorsqu'elles sont détournées vers un marché illicite. L'inscription de substances en vertu de la LRCDAS donne aux organismes d'application de la loi l'autorité de prendre des mesures contre les activités illicites concernant ces substances.
