SOIRA Orders

The SOIRA provisions in the Criminal Code are found between ss. 490.012 to 490.02911. They are divided as follows:

• Order to Comply with the Sex Offender Information Registration Act (490.012 to 490.018)
• Notice and Obligation to Comply with the Sex Offender Information Registration Act — Convictions Before December 15, 2004 (490.019 to 490.029)
• Notice and Obligation to Comply with the Sex Offender Information Registration Act — Convictions Outside Canada (490.02901 to 490.02911)

Purpose

The purpose of a SOIRA Order "is to help police investigate sexual offences by making available to them information provided by convicted sexual offenders required to register under the Act. This information may be of investigative assistance in the inculpation or elimination of various suspects."

It is not merely an administrative act of the sentencing judge. It is an "integral part of the sentencing process."

Scheme

The making of a SOIRA Order will depend on whether the designated offence is listed under s. 490.013 (a), (c), (c.1), (d) or (e) in which case it is mandatory. Where the designated offence is under para (b) or (f), then it will only be ordered where "prosecutor establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the person committed the offence with the intent to commit an offence" listed under para (a), (c), (c.1), (d) or (e).

Section 490.012 grant judges the power to order an offender to comply with the SOIRA.

Effect of Amendments

The provisions regarding SOIRA within the Criminal Code are regulatory and are not intended to be punitive in nature. Consequently, the laws are retroactive to offences that occurred before any amendment and do not violate s. 11(i) of the Charter protecting against retroactive punishment.

Constitutionality

There is support that mandatory nature of SOIRA Orders does not violate s. 7 of the Charter for being grossly disproportionate to the aim of protecting the public.

Prior Orders

When considering the effect of prior-related records, convictions for sexual offences while the offender was a youth should not be considered if it occurred more than 5 years prior to the adult offence.

Serious Child Sexual Offences

Where the accused is convicted of an indictable "primary offence" against a child and receives a sentence of 2 years or more, the SOIRA order is mandatory under s. 490.012(1) du Code Criminel.

[omis (1) and (2)]

Order — other circumstances

(a) there would be no connection between making the order and the purpose of helping police services prevent or investigate crimes of a sexual nature by requiring the registration of information relating to sex offenders under that Act; or

(b) the impact of the order on the person, including on their privacy or liberty, would be grossly disproportionate to the public interest in protecting society through the effective prevention or investigation of crimes of a sexual nature, to be achieved by the registration of information relating to sex offenders under that Act.

Factors

Duration and Early Termination

Sentencing Procedure

A recommended approach for a sentencing judge to follow is:

(1) Inquire whether the offender wished to challenge the making of the order;

(2) If the offender so wished, then inquire as to whether the offender wished to call further evidence respecting the impact of such an order;

(3) If the offender chooses to do so, then hear that evidence and inquire of the prosecutor whether the prosecutor wished to call evidence to rebut the evidence called by the offender and, if so, hear that evidence;

(4) Weigh the evidence heard at trial and on the sentencing hearing, to the extent that the offender or the prosecutor relied on such evidence, and weigh any evidence specifically called, together with arguments presented by the parties, in order to determine the manner and extent to which:

(a) making the order might impact on

(i) privacy and liberty of the offender,

(ii) the abilities or limitations of the offender,

(iii) the offender as a result of the stigma of being registered,

(iv) the potential for rehabilitation and reintegration of the offender in the community, and

(v) any other significant characteristic of the offender; and

(b) failure to make the order might impact the public interest;

(5) Accepting Parliament’s declaration that there is a public interest in protecting society through effective investigation of crimes of a sexual nature, weigh the impact on the offender of being registered, as against the impact on that public interest, of the offender not being registered and come to a conclusion as to whether the impact on the offender is so severe as to result in a “marked and serious imbalance” between the impact on the offender of making the order and the impact on the public interest of not making the order; and

(6) If, but only if, the impact on the offender of making the order is grossly disproportionate to the impact on the public interest of not making the order, the exemption should be granted.
