1. The Criminal Code is amended by
adding the following after subsection
7(3.7):
|
|
| Offence
committed
outside
Canada
|
(3.701) Despite any other provision in this
or any other Act of Parliament, but subject to
subsection (3.703), every one who commits an
act or omission outside Canada that, if
committed in Canada would constitute an
offence under this Act, shall be deemed to
have committed that act in Canada if the
person who commits the act or omission is a
Canadian citizen or a permanent resident
within the meaning of the Immigration Act or
is present in Canada after the commission of
the act or omission.
|
|
| Attorney
General of a
province
|
(3.702) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act, no proceedings may be
commenced with respect to an act or omission
referred to in subsection (3.701) without the
personal consent in writing of the Attorney
General of the province in which the person
who commits the act or omission is present or,
where the person is present in the Yukon
Territory, the Northwest Territories or
Nunavut, of the Attorney General of Canada.
|
|
| For greater
certainty
|
(3.703) Subsection (3.701) does not
preclude the application of subsections (1) to
( 3.5), (3.7) to (4.1) and 46(3) or sections 57,
58, 74, 75 or 477.1.
