Issue: To provide information on the issuing of section 191 licences under the Criminal Code of Canada.
In order for a company or an individual to obtain an exemption under subsection 191(2)(d) to possess, sell or purchase enabling devices for the interception of communications, the Minister must issue them a licence.
As such, companies and individuals must present a licence application to the RCMP or CSIS for processing which is subsequently sent to Public Safety Canada (PS) for approval. Licences under section 191 are only granted to companies or individuals that provide sources of supply to police departments, the Canadian Forces, or the Canadian government, unless special circumstances exist.
Licences issued under subsection 191 (2)(d) contain terms and conditions (TAB A) relating to the possession, sale or purchase of the device(s) or component(s) as prescribed by the Minister and are generally applied to all licences. Once approved, each licence has an expiration date of up two years.
