Automated excerpt

Bill C-22, also called the Lawful Access Act, has already passed the House of Commons, and is now before the Canadian Senate. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is urging all Canadians to sign its petition opposing the bill. (The petition on CCLA’s website is governed by CCLA’s privacy policy.) As we wrote earlier this year, Bill C-22 gives the government new powers to force digital services—including telecom companies, messaging apps, and more—to help with government surveillance. If you’re in Canada, read and sign CCLA’s petition opposing Bill C-22 today.
