Michael Geist: Tories aim to heighten web-surveillance powers

Michael Geist: Tories aim to heighten web-surveillance powers

This is extremely worrisome legislation whether included in an omnibus bill or not:

"Lawful access is complex legislation that touches on a very wide range of issues, many of which extend far beyond conventional criminal law. Given that the proposals breed uncertainty and have never been the subject of public review, lumping them together with many other bills represents a serious threat and is bound to result in only a cursory analysis of an important piece of legislation that has far reaching consequences for privacy, security, and free speech."
