Document Summary
Chapter 12: mandatory reporting and the duty to warn. There are a few narrow defined mandatory reporting obligations under federal law. There are similar reporting obligations regarding marine and railway crews. Physicians, nurses, etc. must report to the minister any loss or theft of a controlled drug from their premises. If an internet provider (eg. bell) is advised of a url link where child pornography may be available to the public, that provider must report to an organization specified in the regulations. If a provider (bell) has reasonable grounds to believe that their internet is being or has been used to commit child pornography, he/she must notify police. The criminal code does not make it an offence to fail to report past or future crimes to the police. Nothing prevents an individual from choosing to report crimes, suspicious behaviour or suspected crimes to the police, provided that he or she did not obtain this information in confidence.
