Certainly the government appreciates the concerns from stakeholders about ensuring that guardrails are established in the bill. We'd start from the point of view that, first of all, anything within the bill needs to be in order to protect the Canadian telecommunications system, so anything that involves surveillance, for instance, is entirely separate from that issue.
With respect to the word “including”, the bill is crafted with the intention of trying to keep pace with an evolving technological landscape, but it's hard to know exactly what will evolve over time. Amendment G-1.1 looks at the word “including” but reframes it in terms of any threat, so rather than any thing, it's focusing on preventing threats. It then adds in the word “degradation”, which was a risk factor that wasn't in the original text but that, if the word “including” was removed, could present a vulnerability down the road.
