Again, I would disagree with that assertion.
First, PIPEDA set out generally applicable principles that permitted the collection, use, and disclosure of information for the purpose of enforcing Canadian law, and very specifically enabled disclosures for the purposes of complying with subpoenas, warrants, and court orders. Those are the exceptions that courts look to when making orders. Should the law be changed and should these generally applicable exceptions not apply, it could well be argued that law enforcement would not be entitled to the information, because it would be protected by the act.
I have heard concerns from the enforcement community about this, and I think they are extremely concerned that there was the potential here to impede law enforcement on the Internet. Private individuals are concerned as well.
