Which of the following situations best describe an Indictable Offence?

One person applies force to another person without permission or justification
A petty crime committed on federal property at an airport
A Labour Relations Act violation during a labour dispute involving a lockout of the employees
A serious crime witnessed by a Security Guard or another person

The correct answer is: A serious crime witnessed by a Security Guard or another person

An Indictable Offence, under Canadian law, is a serious crime that is subject to severe penalties. Crimes under this category include such acts as murder, treason, or robbery, and these crimes are typically tried in a superior court. Therefore, option D - "A serious crime witnessed by a Security Guard or another person" best describes what an Indictable Offence is. It refers to significant offences that are viewed as highly detrimental to society and, in witnessing such a crime, a Security Guard would need to follow protocols for reporting and documenting the incident. The phrase "by a Security Guard or another person" simply emphasizes that anyone witnessing such a crime - professional security personnel or otherwise - has a responsibility to report it. The other options do not correctly define an Indictable Offence as they either refer to less serious crimes or violations that aren't inherently criminal acts.
