Arrest warrants are issued by a judge or justice of the peace under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Once the warrant has been issued, section 29 of the Code requires that the arresting officer must give notice to the accused of the existence of the warrant, the reason for it, and produce it if requested, if it is feasible to do so.
