Canadians, please take urgent action to let the Senators
know of your concerns regarding: Canada's Patriot Act 3 before the Senate
The committee meets Monday to hear the Ministers involved
make their sales pitch. Some of the questions you should be looking for
answers to include:
Why is the Senate considering giving 8 different Ministers
the Executive power on their sole authority to issue Interim Orders in lieu
of laws without first consulting Parliament, and exempts the Orders from
being even examined in advance for their legality or constitutionality?
Why does the government want to establish a reserve pool of
military judges in the event of martial law?
Why is the Senate considering reintroducing searches without
warrant?
Can the Interim Orders under the Quarantine Act be used to
order forced vaccinations and/or internment as in the US Homeland Security
Act?
Why does the government want to removes the protections of
the Privacy Act of their personal data collected by the government within
Canada?
Why does the government want to gives the personal data of
Canadian travelers without any control on how the information will be used?
If you are black-listed in the United States, will you be black-listed from
flying in Canada? What can you do about it if you are?
What is the demonstrable need for Big Brother databases in
a free and democratic society? Why does the USA get all the personal data
of Canadians even when they are not flying to the US?
Please call, email and fax all of the Senators on the Transport

Canada's Patriot Act 3 before the Senate
Editor
Sun Mar 21 21:33:30 EST 2004
The Senate is holding hearings into Bill C-7
the latest piece of Canada's police state legislation. This bill is the
third version of it that they have tried to pass over the last 2 years:
it was C-42 then C-55 then C-17, now called C-7. This bill is horrific:
it gives unlimited power without parliamentary review to 8 different ministers
in the form of interim orders, with an explicit exemption from the orders
being examined for their legality or constitutionality. It gives these orders
under the Quarantine Act, and provides National Defense with a reserve pool
of military judges to prepare for the event of martial law, so it's truly
frightening; all of us who have examined the bill feel it must be stopped
by any means, although we recognize that stopping legislation in the Senate
is rare and very difficult.
The bureaucrats have been testifying all week before the committee,
and the questions from the Senators clearly showed that there are a number
who are strongly and weakly opposed to it, as well as 2 strongly pushing
it (Day and the Chair: Fraser). So that means that there is the possibility,
albeit very slim, of stopping the legislation.
Unfortunately, some of the Senators who are the most opposed
are not on the Transport committee (Andreuchuk, Beaudoin); the government
stacked the deck by sending it to the Transport committee instead of Legal
and Constitutional Affairs where it belongs, but would have a much rougher
ride.
