I don't understand how complex laws get written as fast as this. Do special interests (in this case, the police and/or CSIS or related services) just present a wish list that gets put into the proper form? The implications are serious: can any lobby group get legislation that favours its desires because the bureaucracy under the minister doesn't have the time and/or competence to truly study its implications? And, as in the example of C-5, even the committee process designed to study bills deeply was short-circuited. Are we heading deeper into a Big Brother dystopia?
