Requirements to Make the Order

Before a justice or judge can make an order they must be satisfied that:

1. an offence has been (or will be) committed;
2. the offence is any offence under the Criminal Code or federal legislation;
3. the transmission data is in the possession or control of a person; and
4. the transmission data "will assist in the investigation of the offence".

The standard of proof is "reasonable grounds to suspect."

Judge or Justice

The reference in s. 487.011 to "justice or judge" will refer to a justice of the peace, provincial court judge or a superior court judge. Section 487.011 defines "judge" as "a judge of a superior court of criminal jurisdiction or a judge of the Court of Quebec."

Public Official or Peace Officer

Under s. 487.011, "public official" means "a public officer who is appointed or designated to administer or enforce a federal or provincial law and whose duties include the enforcement of this Act or any other Act of Parliament."

A peace officer is defined under s. 2.
