“Bill C-30 caused a furor when it was introduced a year ago this week. The legislation would have permitted police and other government officials to compel Internet service providers to disclose identifying information linked to clients’ ISP addresses without a warrant.  Telecommunications companies would also have been required to collect and store data on clients’ digital activities.  The law was fiercely opposed by federal and provincial privacy commissioners as a fundamental intrusion on privacy rights.  Instead, the government has carved out a sliver of the bill to ensure warrantless wiretaps during emergencies remain legal.”
