I agree.

I listened to the questioning in the last testimony about whether or not this creates a seizure, and if it doesn't create a seizure would it still violate section 8. I think there would be a serious chilling effect and a belief that people lacked privacy because, ultimately, the state could then get access through a transmission production order or a tracking production order, or even location data, for any crime going back up to a year. That does create a chilling impact and would have serious implications for how people viewed their right to privacy in Canada—and it wouldn't just be people in Canada. It would be anyone who has services with a Canadian company.
