Thank you so much for the question.

I suppose I would go back to section 2 of the act. The definition of any activity that undermines the security of Canada is so overbroad that now we have a legislatively prescribed definition that's just opened it so wide that any information could, in the view of CCLA, fall under that definition.

I believe that SCISA now allows for more information to be gathered as well as more information to be shared, and all of it without any appropriate and necessary safeguards or review.
