Edmonton lawyer asks top court to strike down sections of
Canada’s sex offender laws

The fallout from a 2011 Edmonton sexual assault case has come
before the Supreme Court of Canada.

The country’s top court has been asked to consider striking down
two sections of Canada’s sex offender laws as unconstitutional.

In 2011, the Stephen Harper government altered the Criminal Code
so the names of sex offenders would automatically be placed on
the sex offender registry.

The changes meant judges no longer had discretion on whether to
submit names of sex offenders to the registry. It also mandated
that anyone convicted of two sex offences or more would
automatically be placed on the registry for life.

On Tuesday morning, appearing virtually in the Supreme Court,
Edmonton defence lawyer Elvis Iginla asked the justices to
replace mandatory placement with judicial discretion.

Crown argues for status quo
Alberta Crown prosecutor Jason Russell argued in favour of
maintaining the current legislation.

“The objective is to formulate a comprehensive database for law
enforcement,” Russell said. “We just don’t have the tools to say
which offender is going to re-offend.”

Russell compared automatic listing on the registry to mandatory
DNA orders for certain designated offences.

He acknowledged there’s a modest impact on the offender’s
privacy rights, but argued that for most offenders the
information remains unused in a highly secured database unless
they are suspected of re-offending.
