Last updated

Organizations designated as terrorist by Canada are groups that have been listed by the Canadian government as terrorist organisations.

Contents

Since 18 December 2001, the Anti-terrorism Act has allowed for section 83.05 of the Canadian Criminal Code to be invoked by the Governor in Council to maintain a list of "entities" that are engaged in terrorism, facilitating it, or acting on behalf of such an entity. [1] [2]

Matters relevant to overall counterterrorism and national security within the Government of Canada fall under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. [2] A review is conducted by the minister every five years to determine whether an entity should remain listed. Entities may apply for a judicial review by the Chief Justice of the Federal Court. Both ministerial and judicial reviews are published in the Canada Gazette . [1] The list is also published on the website of Public Safety Canada. [3]
