M-11.6 - Act respecting certain measures enabling the enforcement of environmental and dam safety legislation
Section 11
Disposition versions
11. To conduct their investigations, penal investigators are justified in performing an act or making an omission that would constitute an offence under this Act or the Acts concerned, provided the investigators are acting within their investigative functions. If such an act is performed or such an omission is made, they are not liable to any penalty imposed by those Acts.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, prior authorization from the investigator’s immediate superior is required for the investigator to perform the act or make the omission. The investigator’s immediate superior must take into account the impact of the offence on human life, health, safety, welfare and comfort, and on the environment, ecosystems, living species and property. An investigator’s immediate superior is the person who has direct authority over the investigator and who represents the Deputy Minister in the investigator’s regard.
