    Few safeguards, and it lets the government share information between departments for reasons other than the fight against terrorism. People may remember the fuss a decade or so ago agsint the 'super database' and the concequences that would have had. Now, this is exactly the same thing under the guise of 'terrorism'.

    Not just internet, all information by all government departments.

    Daniel Therrien, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada appointed by this government less than a year ago, was the first to focus on the privacy implications of Bill C-51. Within hours of release of the bill, Therrien warned:

    At this early stage, I can say that I am concerned with the breadth of the new authorities to be conferred by the proposed new Security of Canada Information Sharing Act. This Act would seemingly allow departments and agencies to share the personal information of all individuals, including ordinary Canadians who may not be suspected of terrorist activities, for the purpose of detecting and identifying new security threats. It is not clear that this would be a proportional measure that respects the privacy rights of Canadians. In the public discussion on Bill C-51, it will be important to be clear about whose information would be shared with national security agencies, for which specific purpose and under what conditions, including any applicable safeguards.

    Yes, because debates are best suited to an on-topic comic. :roll:

    Use your words! In the out loud fingers!

    Considering the size and scope of this bill and the number of sitting days left, I wouldn't be surprised to see it die in committee.

    We'll see. It's a majority government, and the Liberals are going to roll over, so it's just the NDP and Lizzie May that will try to get the Bill to committee.

    I didn't know the committee / report stage (for both HOC and Senate) was optional.
