The Canadian Governments' Lawful Access Bill, Bill C-22, proposed to create a pathway for law enforcement to investigate individuals using technology for criminal activities. But businesses and civil rights groups alike are pushing back on what could end up being an unchecked overreach of government surveillance powers, while harming the security of our apps and devices. Grant Hardy breaks down the situation. Tamir Israel, Director of the Privacy Surveillance and Technology Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, discusses the most problematic aspects of Bill C-22 and its progression through the Canadian Legislature. Grant also checks in with Double Tap co-hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece for their broader thoughts on privacy, security, and safety in a digital world. We’ll be living with Bill C-22 for the foreseeable future, and our panel of experts will discuss whether that’s a good thing, and what can be done about it if it isn't.
