More details on the NEW VOYEURISM OFFENCES:
New Voyeurism Offences: The voyeurism scheme will create two new offences in the Criminal Code. The main voyeurism offence will prohibit secret observation (by any means) or recording, in circumstances where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, in these 3 cases:
when the person observed or recorded is in a place where a person is expected to be in a state of nudity, or engaged in sexual activity (such as bedroom, bathroom or changing room); or
when the person is in a state of nudity or engaged in sexual activity and the purpose is to observe or record the person in such a state or activity; or
when the observation or recording is done for a sexual purpose
The second voyeurism offence involves intentional distribution of voyeuristic material and requires that the accused knew the material was created during one of the circumstances described above.
