Canadian Police Want to Force Hospitals to Identify Gun or Knife Victims
Alberta needs to follow Ontario's lead and move ahead with a law requiring hospitals to notify police about gunshot victims coming for treatment, the head of the organized crime unit says. Ontario's new law -- the first of its kind in Canada -- forces hospitals to tell police if someone is being treated for a gunshot wound along with the name, if known.
