Abstract
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the passage of the Patriot Act in the United States, Canada passed a similar anti-terrorism law. Rather than being an in dependent counterterrorism law itself, it has reformed existing laws and eliminated gaps and strengthened them to counter terrorism. The first part of the C-36 law provides a comprehensive definition of terrorism and explains terrorist activities alongside terrorist groups. Several terrorist incidents in late October 2014 highlighted the importance of the need for a new anti-terrorism law in Canada. In this regard, the Canadian legislature re-enacted the C-51 bill this time to address flaws in the former anti-terrorism law as well as other relevant sporadic laws. The law is the most comprehensive amendment to Canada's 2001 counterterrorism law.
