Conservative MP launches petition to end temporary foreign worker program

The Conservatives have accused the government of introducing “snooping provisions” in its border security bill, saying giving law enforcement agencies access to internet subscribers’ information without a warrant raises serious questions about privacy and Canadians’ Charter rights. Michelle Rempel Garner, the Conservative immigration critic, raised concerns Thursday about measures in Bill C-2 granting the police and other agencies the right to demand information about internet subscribers – including the municipality where they subscribe – without a warrant from a judge.
