WITNESS PROTECTION LEGISLATION NOW IN FORCE

Released on September 1, 2009

Saskatchewan's Witness Protection Act, which protects witnesses testifying against individuals charged with criminal activities, came into effect September 1.

"Our government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all Saskatchewan citizens," Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister Yogi Huyghebaert said. "The Witness Protection Act will help keep communities safe by providing protection for witnesses and their associates or family members who may be at risk from organized crime members."

Activities undertaken under provincial authority provided under the Act will complement the efforts of police and prosecutors to combat organized crime and gang activity.

The Act offers support for witnesses who do not need extreme protective measures, such as identity change and permanent relocation, offered by the RCMP under the federal Witness Protection Program. Under this legislation, Corrections, Public Safety and Policing officials will make arrangements on behalf of witnesses for protection services.
