Canada’s PM grants broad legal exemptions to ministers with little oversight, sparking accountability concerns.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has granted ministers broad new powers to exempt individuals and companies from most laws—except those in the Criminal Code—for up to six years, through a provision in a 600-page bill that bypassed full parliamentary scrutiny.
The change, not disclosed in the initial budget or during debates, allows exemptions with minimal oversight and no public disclosure requirements, citing the need to keep pace with technological innovation.
Critics, including Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, have raised concerns over transparency, democratic accountability, and the potential for unchecked executive power, noting the burden of monitoring risks falls on taxpayers.
