Bill C-22 explained – Is Mark Carney turning Canada into a surveillance state?

In her latest video, CCF Interim Executive Director Christine Van Geyn discusses Bill C-22, the Carney government’s proposed Lawful Access legislation, which would expand government surveillance powers by requiring electronic service providers to build systems that allow the government easier access to Canadians’ data and could also require companies to collect and store metadata, including location information, for up to one year.

Watch the full video for a detailed breakdown of the bill and its potential impact, including how it could affect online privacy and VPNs, along with concerns about encryption.
