A bill to modernize and standardize how law enforcement can access data and information during investigations, including subscriber info and tracking data. Facilitates new abilities like getting data from foreign telecom providers. The debate consisted almost entirely of members from all parties giving personal tributes and congratulations to a retiring MP, with little discussion of the actual bill.
