TORONTO – Millions of Canadians could lose fundamental privacy rights as Parliament pushes ahead with Bill C-2, legislation that would give police and CSIS unprecedented surveillance powers without proper judicial oversight, the Canadian Constitution Foundation is warning.
The CCF has identified several areas of Bill C-2 that implicate the rights of Canadians under section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures including:
- New provisions that enlist financial institutions in snooping
- New powers to open letter mail without proper safeguards
- Allowing police to demand information without warrants, and
- Powers to enlist electronic service providers in secret spying.
