You're probably referring to the Security of Information Act. I'm sorry, I may not know all the terms as well as some of your guests.
I have limited myself to the sections of this act that are incorporated into the Criminal Code. For example, I took a closer look at proposed subsection 20.4(1) that the bill proposes to add to this act. It talks about influencing a political or governmental process. It reads: “Every person commits an indictable offence who, at the direction of … a foreign entity …” Once again, this section is very general. Yes, the term “foreign entity” is defined in section 2 of the Security of Information Act, but there are other definitions. I can quickly see examples that probably correspond to what you have in mind. I hear what the other guests are saying and I hear some of the concerns being expressed. Given the way this provision is worded, influence groups could be covered by proposed section 20.4 without necessarily being tied to the government.
Once again, the scope of this section is very broad and, since we're talking about a criminal offence here, the constitutionality of this section could quickly be called into question.
