Thank you for the question.
I think there is a risk that information will be destroyed. This articulation of the authority to search computer data and other data accessible to a computer system has been in the Criminal Code since 1997. The effect of this amendment, if passed, would be that it would actually make the job of police harder, which, I think, goes against the objective of the bill. They currently use this power routinely. In the Internet age, with cloud computing and other distributed networks, this is a very important tool for police to have.
