Protecting Victims Act

Criminal Code overhaul — child safety, deepfakes, partner violence

A massive bill that tightens the Canada-US border, restricts who can claim asylum and when, gives police and CSIS more surveillance tools, and cracks down on money laundering.

Federal C-20
Build Canada Homes Act
