Section 110 permits courts to impose a weapons prohibition upon conviction for certain violence-related offences.

Discretionary prohibition order

110 (1) Where a person is convicted, or discharged under section 730 [ordonnance de libération], of

(a) an offence, other than an offence referred to in any of paragraphs 109(1)(a) to (c.1) , in the commission of which violence against a person was used, threatened or attempted, or

the court that sentences the person or directs that the person be discharged, as the case may be, shall, in addition to any other punishment that may be imposed for that offence or any other condition prescribed in the order of discharge, consider whether it is desirable, in the interests of the safety of the person or of any other person, to make an order prohibiting the person from possessing any firearm, cross-bow, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device, ammunition, prohibited ammunition or explosive substance, or all such things, and where the court decides that it is so desirable, the court shall so order.

  • the offence involves a firearm, crossbow, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device, ammunition, or explosive substance, and
  • the offender was prohibited from possessing such items at the time of the offence

An order under s. 110 will impose a maximum of 10 years prohibiting the possession of firearms, crossbows, restricted weapons, ammunition, or explosives, prohibited weapons, prohibited devices, and prohibited ammunition. This does not include prohibited firearms or restricted firearms.

Specific Prohibitions

Exception

(2.1) Despite subsection (2) [durée de l'ordonnance d'interdiction], an order made under subsection (1) [ordonnance discrétionnaire d'interdiction d'armes] may be imposed for life or for any shorter duration if, in the commission of the offence, violence was used, threatened or attempted against

(a) the person’s intimate partner;
(b) a child or parent of the person or of anyone referred to in paragraph (a); or
(c) any person who resides with the person or with anyone referred to in paragraph (a) or (b).

Definition of release from imprisonment

(4) In subsection (2) [durée de l'ordonnance d'interdiction], "release from imprisonment" means release from confinement by reason of expiration of sentence, commencement of statutory release or grant of parole.

Exercise of Discretion

Section 110 permits a judge to make an order of prohibition where it is "desirable, in the interests of the safety of the person or of any other person".

The sentencing principles including proportionality, and taking to account the "circumstances of the offence and the offender", should be applied when considering whether to make an order under s. 110.[1]

Exemptions for Employment or Sustenance

Anyone subject to a weapons prohibition order may apply for a limited employment and sustenance order.

Lifting of prohibition order for sustenance or employment

113 (1) Where a person who is or will be a person against whom a prohibition order is made establishes to the satisfaction of a competent authority that

(a) the person needs a firearm or restricted weapon to hunt or trap in order to sustain the person or the person’s family, or
(b) a prohibition order against the person would constitute a virtual prohibition against employment in the only vocation open to the person,

the competent authority may, notwithstanding that the person is or will be subject to a prohibition order, make an order authorizing a chief firearms officer or the Registrar to issue, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the competent authority considers appropriate, an authorization, a licence or a registration certificate, as the case may be, to the person for sustenance or employment purposes.

Factors

(2) A competent authority may make an order under subsection (1) [levée d'une ordonnance d'interdiction pour subsistance ou emploi] only after taking the following factors into account:

(a) the criminal record, if any, of the person;
(b) the nature and circumstances of the offence, if any, in respect of which the prohibition order was or will be made; and
(c) the safety of the person and of other persons.
Effect of order

(3) Where an order is made under subsection (1) [levée d'une ordonnance d'interdiction pour subsistance ou emploi],

(a) an authorization, a licence or a registration certificate may not be denied to the person in respect of whom the order was made solely on the basis of a prohibition order against the person or the commission of an offence in respect of which a prohibition order was made against the person; and
(b) an authorization and a licence may, for the duration of the order, be issued to the person in respect of whom the order was made only for sustenance or employment purposes and, where the order sets out terms and conditions, only in accordance with those terms and conditions, but, for greater certainty, the authorization or licence may also be subject to terms and conditions set by the chief firearms officer that are not inconsistent with the purpose for which it is issued and any terms and conditions set out in the order.
When order can be made

(4) For greater certainty, an order under subsection (1) [levée d'une ordonnance d'interdiction pour subsistance ou emploi] may be made during proceedings for an order under subsection 109(1) [mandatory weapons prohibition order], 110(1) [ordonnance discrétionnaire d'interdiction d'armes], 110.1(3) , 111(5) [ordonnance d'interdiction], 117.05(4) [ordonnance de confiscation et d'interdiction] or 515(2) [ordonnance de mise en liberté avec conditions], paragraph 732.1(3)(d) [ordonnance de probation – interdiction de port d'armes] or subsection 810(3) [authority to order peace bond when satisfied].

Meaning of “competent authority”

(5) In this section, "competent authority" means the competent authority that made or has jurisdiction to make the prohibition order.

Note: 113(1), (2), (3), (4), et (5)

It has been suggested that s. 113 was a necessary exemption from s. 109 in order to ensure that the punishment is not grossly disproportionate in the case of those who need the weapons for sustenance or employment.[1]

It can be sufficient to establish that the primary source of meat for an aboriginal family is through hunting.[2] It is not necessary that hunting be for the family's survival or subsistence. It may be that other sources of food are used as well.[3] However, where a farmer uses a firearm to protect his livestock, then they must establish that he "solely or predominantly" depends on the firearm to sustain his family.[4]

There is further suggestion that the provisions of 113 are not for the part-time, cultural or social hunter.[5]

Variation of a Prohibition Order

Section 113 has been found to provide the court with authority to apply to modify a weapons prohibition.[1]

Except for s. 113, there is no power for a provincial court judge to vary the duration of a s. 109 or 110 order.[2]

Young Offenders

Mandatory prohibition order

51 (1) Despite section 42 (youth sentences), when a young person is found guilty of an offence referred to in any of paragraphs 109(1)(a) to (d) of the Criminal Code, the youth justice court shall, in addition to imposing a sentence under section 42 (youth sentences), make an order prohibiting the young person from possessing any firearm, cross-bow, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device, ammunition, prohibited ammunition or explosive substance during the period specified in the order as determined in accordance with subsection (2).

Duration of prohibition order

(2) An order made under subsection (1) begins on the day on which the order is made and ends not earlier than two years after the young person has completed the custodial portion of the sentence or, if the young person is not subject to custody, after the time the young person is found guilty of the offence.

Discretionary prohibition order

Reasons
