Explanatory Note

Section 22 subsection (4) reads: "

a) to compel the attendance of witnesses, and "(

b) to punish witnesses for "(0 disobeying a summons to appear, "(

H) refusing to be sworn, or "(iii) refusing to give evidence, as are conferred upon justices of the peace by

Part XXIV of the Criminal Code." The reference to

Part XXIV was made by 1955, c. 38, s. 4 wi~h the intention of continuing the powers of justices of the peace under the Criminal Code in respect of the matters dealt with in this subsection. The reference to

Part XXIV creates uncertainty as to the intent of the subsection and is therefore removed.
