Re: Criminal Code Of Canada
Well, a smart-aleck answer might suggest you can move out of the country, but a challenge to any enactment is perhaps available under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Normally, only persons who are impacted by unconstitutional provisions are entitled to challenge them. Typically, a person charged with a criminal offence might challenge the basis of the criminal charge itself, some aspect of the procedure, or some part of the process itself.
There is more, but without specifics, there is no simple answer to your question.
