[Privsec] Re: Lawful Access - Canadian Consultation

[Gus Hosein]

Robert...

I am surprised by the rush to legislate on this, and the short 
'consultation' even though, as you say, the proposals sound progressive.

There are always little catches, such as how they regard SMS, web-traffic 
data.  And on the CoE convention, they are still missing out the mutual 
legal assistance components which would cause trouble, I imagine.

I'd like to have the chance to go through the actual proposals in more detail.

Keep well...

n.b. I took Bruce Schneier off the 'cc' list because I didn't want to spam 
him with this stuff; if I did so inappropriately, I apologise and please 
feel free to forward to him.
