Position paper of B.C. Civil Liberties Association on Bill C-61

C-61 creates a regime of mandatory data retention that is unbalanced by judicial oversight….

…Bill C-61 creates overly broad protections for digital locks and prohibitions on the tools to open these locks, undermining any exemptions for privacy and expression. Protections for free expression and privacy must take priority over protections for digital locks.
