Description

November 29 Ottawa In the House of Commons, Justice Minister Marc Lalonde tabled a report by the Law Reform Commission of Canada calling for the repeal of Criminal Code sections making gross indecency, indecent assault, rape, buggery, and bestiality indictable criminal offences under the present law. The commission recommended that these sections be repealed and replaced by only two new ones, sexual interference and sexual aggression. Under this proposal, consensual sexual activity would not be a matter for the Criminal Code.
