A lot of misinformation on Bill C30. For anyone to say that police will be able to listen in on phone conversations or read emails is an outright lie. Those still require what is referred to as a Part 6 wiretap investigation which is an exhaustive police investigation. This legislation is for the purpose of indentifying those people who are surfing the net and downloading inappropriate date (child pornography). Technology has changed and police need the tools to investigate these matters in a timely fashion and this will allow them to do it.Feb 15, 2012 9:23 am | British Columbia, Kootenay—Columbia - MP
