Excerpt:Note: please consult Ages of consent in North America #Canada for the current age of consent, which is 16 or 18 depending on various criteria. This is an historical article referring to a bill and set of conditions from the past. Bill C-2 is part of Canadian legislation. It was initially read October 8, 2004 and published on the net five days later. After moving from the House of Commons to the Senate, after its first Senate reading in June 14, 2005 it was amended two days later, four days prior to its second Senate reading on June 20. Unlike previously, it was not referred to committee, so there was no senate committee report, nor a third reading. Bill C-2 is notable for its reformatting of Canadian laws related to consent, and of sexual offenses in Canada. In particular, it modifies section 153 ("sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching of a victim under 18"). Prior to Bill C-2, a law has stood for a deal of time that applies only to persons in a position of trust or authority toward the young person, or with whom the young person is in a relationship of dependency. At the time, the minimum age of consent was 14 years of age (currently it is 16, after legislation passed later in 2008) but was in effect 18 years of age when applied to special relationships where there is a difference of power, as specified above.
