The breadth of the collection and sharing powers means that the list of hypotheticals with respect to critical infrastructure providers, as well as telecommunications providers, could be quite long.
I'll provide one hypothetical example: There is the potential that the minister could compel telecommunications providers to furnish subscriber information with respect to individuals using telecommunications networks anonymously in circumstances that have been the subject of the Supreme Court of Canada's guidance around the importance of protecting the privacy interests of that type of information. In terms of this legislation, there would be no apparent restriction in preventing that information from being shared with other government agencies identified in the bill and from potentially repurposing that information for other aspects of their mandate, such as providing assistance with federal law enforcement.
