Premier McGuinty
On Elliot Lake
Premier Dalton
McGuinty
travelled to
Elliot Lake and
released the following
statement:
“Like all Ontarians, I
was deeply saddened to learn
that emergency workers
have recovered bodies from
the mall collapse in Elliot
Lake.
This news comes as a
terrible blow to the people of
that community. We will
continue to stand with them
in their sorrow. And our
thoughts and prayers are
with the family and friends
IMMIGRATION
who have lost loved ones.
Our hearts are also with
the dozens of emergency
workers from Elliot Lake
and beyond who have been
working around the clock at
the scene since the weekend.
They have put their own
lives at risk for the sake of
others. They remind us of the
sacrifices our first responders
make every day.
We live in a big province,
but it feels a lot smaller at a
time like this, as Ontarians
come together to support the
people of Elliot Lake.
Together, we will lift them
up as they recover from this
tragedy.
In the coming days, we
will take the time to review
the events as they unfolded
to ensure we learn any lessons
to be had. All Ontarians
are committed to having a
world class emergency
response program in place at
all times.”
Self-defence and defence of property
legislation receives royal assent
The Honourable
Rob Nicholson,
P.C., Q.C., M.P.
for Niagara Falls,
Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of
Canada and Mr.
Chungsen Leung,
M.P., Parliamentary
Secretary to the
Honourable Jason
Kenney, Minister of
Citizenship,
Immigration and
Multiculturalism,
announced that Bill C-
26, the Citizen’s Arrest
and Self-defence Act,
is expected to receive
Royal Assent on June
28, 2012.
“Our Government is
committed to putting the real
criminals behind bars.
Canadians who have been the
victim of a crime should not
be re-victimized by the criminal
justice system,” said
Minister Nicholson.
“Canadians want to know
that they are able to protect
themselves against criminal
acts and that the justice system
is behind them, not
against them.”
The existing citizen’s
arrest legislation is too
restricted and allows for a citizen’s
arrest to be made only
if an individual is caught
actively engaged in a criminal
offence on or in relation to
one’s property.
"The so-called Lucky
Moose Bill reinforces the
right of business owners to
protect their property," said
Mr. Leung. "Canadians
demanded that we change the
law after David Chen was
arrested for defending his
property and we’ve responded
by saying that we agree
with their common sense."
Once this legislation comes
into force, the existing power
to make a citizen’s arrest will
be expanded. An owner, a
person in lawful possession
of property, or a person
authorized by them will be
allowed to arrest a person
within a reasonable amount
of time after having found a
person committing a criminal
offence either:
• on their property (e.g. the
offence occurs in their yard);
• in relation to their property
(e.g. their property is stolen
from a public parking lot).
The new citizen’s arrest
authority will only apply in
circumstances when it is not
feasible for a police officer to
make the arrest. The police
will continue to be Canada’s
first and foremost criminal
law enforcement body.
This legislation will also
reform the “self-defence” and
“defence of property” provisions
in the Criminal Code
which the police, prosecutors
and the courts have acknowledged
to be confusing and
overly complex. These provisions
will be simplified to
more easily determine
whether individuals who
claim to have defended themselves,
others, or their property,
should be charged with or
convicted of a criminal
offence.
This Act will come into
force on a day or days to be
fixed by order of the
Governor in Council.

An Act to Amend the
Criminal Code (Citizen’s
Arrest and the Defences of
Property and Persons) (Bill
C-26), is available at

Multiculturalism Day
Minister Kenney celebrates
The Honourable Jason
Kenney, Minister of
Citizenship,
Immigration and
Multiculturalism, issued the
following statement to celebrate
Canadian Multiculturalism
Day:
In 2002, a Royal Proclamation
declared June 27th to be Canadian
Multiculturalism Day, recognizing the
important contributions made by
Canadians of all backgrounds to the
strength and prosperity of our Dominion.
As this year marks our Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee, it is appropriate to reflect upon
and celebrate the remarkable unity of
Canadians during Her Majesty’s reign.
Over the past six decades, people of
diverse cultures and faiths have contributed
to Canada’s legacy of peaceful
pluralism and social cohesion.
On Canadian Multiculturalism Day
we renew our shared commitment to
equality before the law for all Canadians,
whatever their race or creed and we commend
the many volunteers that strive
each day to foster a culture of mutual
respect among Canadians of diverse
backgrounds. Canadians like Bridget
Foster, who was recently named the 2012
recipient of the Paul Yuzyk Award for
more than 30 years of service, improving
the lives of thousands of immigrants and
refugees in Newfoundland and Labrador
and across the country.
Canada’s peaceful pluralism, which

OPP to target all forms of dangerous
driving over Canada Day long weekend
This coming Canada Day
long weekend, the
Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) will be targeting aggressive
drivers, distracted drivers,
those not wearing seatbelts and
motorists who drive while
impaired by drugs or alcohol.
Boaters and All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
riders should also be aware that the OPP
marine and trail units will be patrolling
waterways and trails throughout Ontario
over the long weekend. Three people died
last year on OPP-patrolled highways over
the 2011 Canada Day weekend. One person
lost their life in a marine fatality and
another person died in an ATV incident
over the same weekend.
"We will have every available cruiser,
motorcycle and boat out this weekend and
we will be highly visible and wellresourced
to deal with driving behaviours
that continue to take innocent lives," said
OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis said.
"During the first half of 2012, the OPP has
dealt with 146 persons who were killed on
OPP-patrolled roadways and the motoring
is the envy of so many nations, depends
on that welcoming community spirit
being multiplied across the country. It is
why I am proud of our multiculturalism
program, which supports inter-faith and
inter-cultural understanding, civic memory
and pride, and promotes our core
democratic values, history, and institutions,
which are open to all who embrace
them and make them their own.
Multiculturalism is not simply a government
program: it is the day-to-day
reality of our country in which Canadians
of very different origins live and work
side by side, in which new Canadians
work hard to learn our languages, our
values, and our traditions, and, in turn,
are welcomed as equal members of the
Canadian family. As Minister of
Citizenship, Immigration, and
Multiculturalism, I am proud of all
Canadians who live the successful reality
of Canadian multiculturalism every day.
public needs to do its part to prevent these
ongoing senseless fatalities," added
Lewis.
According to Lewis, speed, distracted
driving, lack of restraint and alcohol were
factors in 92 of the 146 deaths and it is
extremely difficult for family members to
learn that their loved one died at the hands
of a motorist whose driving behaviour fell
into one of these four categories.
"Keeping our families safe on the road
is a priority for this government.
Our message is simple: never text and
drive, always buckle up, drive within the
speed limit and do not drive any vehicle
— car, bicycle, boat or ATV — when
impaired by alcohol or drugs," said
Ministry of Transportation Minister Bob
Chiarelli.
"Our officers will also be watching for
motorists who don't obey "Move Over"
legislation, which calls for vehicles to
move over one lane to the left where possible
and safe to do so, or slow down when
passing a police or other emergency vehicle
parked on the road shoulder with its
emergency lights flashing," said Chief
Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of
the OPP Highway Safety Division.
