A red and black wire on the same outlet does not necessarily mean
they are
on two separate circuits, possibly the red of the three wire is
feeding that
outlet and the black continues that circuit to another outlet. He
needs to
KNOW what he's got and doing before proceeding


True, but since he's in in Canada (I believe Chris Lewis says it's a
CEC requirement) and they're on a double pole breaker it would appear
to be the case.

No mention of GFCI, so as the other poster pointed out, just look at
the outlet he's replacing....
