I believe it's a matter of soft abuse. The goal is not to scoop up all sorts of people, although that is a risk we're concerned about. The real risk is the insidious nature that these powers may acquire. We've seen it. Our organization, the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, CARE Can, and other civil liberty groups have heard this from the community. I've heard it myself. I have a colleague, a lawyer who works with community members who get calls from CSIS and the RCMP. Not every single officer or agent does this, but we have heard that it's used. It says if you don't work with me.... It is especially applied to vulnerable people, refugees or migrants.
