Mr. Speaker, shutting down debate on Bill C-22 is an abuse of power.
Everyone agrees that an overhaul is needed of this bill, which makes it easier to spy on people intrudes on their privacy.
It forces companies to collect data on citizens and hand it over to the police. It forces telecommunications companies to track people at all times, without their consent.
Basically, the federal government wants to create a backdoor into all of our phones.
How can the government quash debate in order to rush through a bill that goes this far?
