A bill to expand police and intelligence agency powers to access data and information during investigations, including subscriber info from telecoms. In discussion, Conservatives asked about foreign government-funded attacks in Canada and accused the government of inaction. Liberals expressed condolences for a fallen officer, condemned violence and intimidation, and touted another bill they say will help public safety.
“I want to look strong on crime for Canadians.”
“I want you to know that I helped pass a bill the police wanted. My opponents tried to stop it. The bill is good because it gives more power to law enforcement.”
