Canadian Bill S-223 Combatting Organ Trafficking Unanimously Passes into Law

An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (trafficking in human organs) has now passed into law.

This enactment amends the Criminal Code to create new offences in relation to trafficking in human organs. It also amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to provide that a permanent resident or foreign national is inadmissible to Canada if the appropriate minister is of the opinion that they have engaged in any activities relating to trafficking in human organs.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Hon. Salma Ataullahjan.
