Product details

Description

The Annotated Contraventions Act is a must-have reference to the 3,000 federal statutory and regulatory offenses that have been designated as contraventions under the contraventions legislation.

Incorporating the full text of the Contraventions Act and Regulations, it also includes short-form descriptions of scheduled offenses. The author provides comprehensive annotations, including skillfully prepared commentary, applicable case law, and cross-references to related Criminal Code sections. It also comprises a systematic examination of companion amendments to federal statutes such as the Canada Evidence Act, the Criminal Code, and the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

This edition brings you the latest legislative and case law developments shaping contravention enforcement across Canada.

Amendments that have been put forward to designate offences under the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act and regulations made under that Act as contraventions to allow enforcement officers to use the Contraventions Act as an enforcement tool, have now come into force.

Two important decisions round out this edition. In R v McArthur (2026 SKPC 5), the Court provides a thorough and practical analysis of racial profiling allegations in a traffic stop context

In R v Sandu (2026 BCSC 282), the Court clarifies the boundaries of trial fairness and judicial discretion in the management of video evidence during cross-examination.
