MP Dr Leslyn Lewis: “Signal is warning that Bill C-22 (Lawful Access) could force it to withdraw from Canada rather than compromise user privacy and encryption. Experts, businesses, and civil liberties advocates are raising serious concerns about the impact this bill could have on privacy, cybersecurity, and personal freedoms.

Canadians deserve laws that protect both public safety and fundamental freedoms, not policies that risk expanding government surveillance at the expense of privacy rights.”
