Includes bibliographical references. "Bill C-28: An Act to amend the Criminal Code (victim surcharge) was introduced in the House of Commons by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and received first reading on 21 October 2016. The bill amends the victim surcharge provisions within the Criminal Code (the Code) as follows: it provides an exception to pay fewer victim surcharges for certain offences related to the administration of justice where the court is satisfied that the cumulative amount of the surcharges imposed would be disproportionate in the circumstances (new section 737(1.1)); it reinstates judicial discretion by allowing an exemption where an offender has satisfied the court that the payment of the victim surcharge would cause undue hardship (new section 737(5)); and it requires the court to provide reasons for the exercise of its limited discretion to grant an exception or an exemption to the surcharge (new section 737(6.2))”--Background, p. 1. gccst Criminal justice gccst Fines gccst Legislation Canada.
