The Government of Canada will continue to assist all victims of crime, including trafficking victims; to work with the provinces and territories to deliver services responsive to the needs of trafficking victims; and to promote greater understanding of the needs of trafficked persons with a view to promoting their physical, psychological and social recovery.
Maintaining and developing strong partnerships both within and outside the federal government is critical; so too is a robust knowledge base informed by topical and relevant research into the nature and scope of human trafficking. The development of a logical and transparent framework to estimate the extent of this crime is critical to fully understanding the problem and to developing an effective and appropriate policy response. That is why the Government will continue to lead and support work on this issue.
Law In Action: Understanding Canadian Law
In Canada, the law of securities regulation and banking is under the federal division of power. This means that any laws or legislation relating to the regulation and legal exchange of cryptocurrencies (as a security) falls under the federal legal jurisdiction. The main issues facing federal legislators in tackling the cryptocurrency markets are a general lack of understanding and awareness of cryptocurrencies, the perceived complexity of blockchain structure, the lack of a centralized data depository for keeping records of transaction history, the difficulty in tracing and identifying the individual parties on either side of a transaction, the inability to determine the contents or context of a transaction, and the general uncertainty and fear of a notoriously volatile online currency which many in government and law still do not fully understand. We will explore the topic of cryptocurrencies in greater depth in a future article.
In international trade, contractual arrangements can be much more prone to complications than domestic ones. Language barriers may cause misunderstandings. Cultural and geographical impediments may crop up. Words often have different meanings in different places.

Significant gains have been made in the global fight against corruption. Better understanding of its economic, political and social costs has spurred on recent international efforts to fight corruption, encourage transparency and increase accountability. Canada strongly supports international efforts to combat corruption, regarding it as a good governance issue, a crime problem and a drag on economic, social and political development.

FN 9. On appeal, Canadian suggests for the first time that it has not waived its nonreserved defenses to coverage because Rusty's has failed to show that it detrimentally relied on or was prejudiced by Canadian's conduct. We have three problems with this argument. First, it was waived by Canadian's failure to raise it below. (North Coast Business Park v. Nielsen Construction Co. (1993) 17 Cal. App. 4th 22, 28-29 [21 Cal. Rptr. 2d 104].) Second, detrimental reliance is almost always an element of estoppel, but not necessarily of waiver. (See Insurance Co. of the West v. Haralambos Beverage Co., supra, 195 Cal.App.3d at p. 1320, fn. 6.) Third, even if detrimental reliance is required to find a waiver, it is clear from the record that the dismissal from the federal action of the individually named defendants was based at least in part on Rusty's understanding that Canadian's reservation of rights letter meant what it said and no more. For these reasons, we summarily reject Canadian's claim that waiver does not apply in this case.
The Tribal Law & Order Act helps to address crime in tribal communities and places a strong emphasis on decreasing violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. The Act encourages the hiring of more law enforcement officers for Indian lands and provides additional tools to address critical public safety needs. Specifically, the law enhances tribes' authority to prosecute and punish criminals; expands efforts to recruit, train and keep Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Tribal police officers; and provides BIA and Tribal police officers with greater access to criminal information sharing databases. It authorizes new guidelines for handling sexual assault and domestic violence crimes, from training for law enforcement and court officers, to boosting conviction rates through better evidence collection, to providing better and more comprehensive services to victims. It also encourages development of more effective prevention programs to combat alcohol and drug abuse among at-risk youth.Below are links to the text of the Tribal Law and Order Act; documents to enhance understanding of its provisions; and some of the reports and action items which have been created in accord with provisions and directives in the Act. 2ff7e9595c
