Since becoming a signatory to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime in 1996, Canadian policy makers have pondered the appropriateness of global intercept capabilities and expedited means of identifying users of telecommunications services. This panel considers the expansion of police powers in an internet age and what it might mean for Canadians.
