Examining the New Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA) Regime

Presented by the CBA Alberta Criminal Justice North Section

Bill S-12, which amended the Criminal Code provisions related to the Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA), received Royal Assent on October 26, 2023. This presentation will outline the new SOIRA regime: when registration is automatic, when it is discretionary (and how exemption applications should be made), and for how long an offender should be registered. The presentation will also briefly cover potential constitutionality issues with the new regime.
