reasonable time

Expanded citizen’s arrest law and the Canadian workplace

The Conservative government is poised to enact the first substantive expansion of citizen's arrest laws in Canada since 1955. The catalyst for the Bill C-26 amendment to the citizen's arrest section of the Criminal Code of Canada was the 2010 case of Toronto grocer David Chen who faced criminal assault charges after performing a citizen's arrest of a habitual thief he had seen stealing from his store earlier in the day.
