I learned that Canadian governments have been trying to pass lawful access legislation since the late 1990s. It's been more than 25 years. It's a long time. It means that lawful access has been studied here for hours and hours over the last 25 years. Bill C-22 has also undergone hours of consultations, and it is supported by a charter statement outlining how it impacts charter rights, especially those in section 8.
From a policing perspective, would you say Bill C-22 does not interfere with section 8? Do tools such as the confirmation of service demand respect those rights?
