- Thank you for contacting my office regarding Bill C-30, the Protecting Chil=
- dren from Internet Predators Act.
- Canada's laws currently do not adequately protect Canadians from online exp=
- loitation and we think there is widespread agreement that this is a problem=
- .
- We want to update our laws while striking the right balance between combati=
- ng crime and protecting privacy.
- Let me be very clear: the police will not be able to read emails or view we=
- b activity unless they obtain a warrant issued by a judge and we have const=
- ructed safeguards to protect the privacy of Canadians, including audits by =
- privacy commissioners.
- What's needed most is an open discussion about how to better protect Canadi=
- ans from online crime. We will therefore send this legislation directly to =
- Parliamentary Committee for a full examination of the best ways to protect =
- Canadians while respecting their privacy.
- For your information, I have included some myths and facts below regarding =
- Bill C-30 in its current state.
- Sincerely,
- Vic Toews
- Member of Parliament for Provencher
- Myth: Lawful Access legislation infringes on the privacy of Canadians.
- Fact: Our Government puts a high priority on protecting the privacy of law-=
- abiding Canadians. Current practices of accessing the actual content of com=
- munications with a legal authorization will not change.
- Myth: Having access to basic subscriber information means that authorities =
- can monitor personal communications and activities.
- Fact: This has nothing to do with monitoring emails or web browsing. Basic=
- subscriber information would be limited to a customer's name, address, tel=
- ephone number, email address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and the name =
- of the telecommunications service provider. It absolutely does not include =
- the content of emails, phones calls or online activities.
- Myth: This legislation does not benefit average Canadians and only gives au=
- thorities more power.
- Fact: As a result of technological innovations, criminals and terrorists h=
- ave found ways to hide their illegal activities. This legislation will keep=
- Canadians safer by putting police on the same footing as those who seek to=
- harm us.
- Myth: Basic subscriber information is way beyond "phone book information".
- Fact: The basic subscriber information described in the proposed legislatio=
- n is the modern day equivalent of information that is in the phone book. In=
- dividuals frequently freely share this information online and in many cases=
- it is searchable and quite public.
- Myth: Police and telecommunications service providers will now be required =
- to maintain databases with information collected on Canadians.
- Fact: This proposed legislation will not require either police or telecommu=
- nications service providers to create databases with information collected =
- on Canadians.
- Myth: "Warrantless access" to customer information will give police and gov=
- ernment unregulated access to our personal information.
- Fact: Federal legislation already allows telecommunications service provide=
- rs to voluntarily release basic subscriber information to authorities witho=
- ut a warrant. This Bill acts as a counterbalance by adding a number of chec=
- ks and balances which do not exist today, and clearly lists which basic sub=
- scriber identifiers authorities can access.
