Bill C-51, Canada Patriot Act and Surveillance Concerns
The controversial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2015, known as Bill C-51 or Canada's Patriot Act, remains a point of contention following the Liberal Party victory. While Justin Trudeau voted for the bill in Parliament, he has promised amendments to protect democratic rights and First Nations' interests. Critics argue the law is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and serves corporate interests.
