It's not on the front, it's not in the news (the Bernier affair is more important I guess. To whom, I don't know) and there isn't a press release about it.
The NDP appear to be ignoring it as well. It ain't even on the Conservative website.
This whole thing reminds me of the gun registry.
"What this legislation will do is criminalize law-abiding citizens and the real criminals won't be affected at all".
I guess that logic doesn't wash anymore.

The Liberals, I expect, are waiting to find out if this is a confidence motion before they come out and declare their position. It's likely they are opposed to a bill that is/could be so vastly unpopular with Candians, but if it means toppling the government and forcing an election the Liberals would rather abstain from voting and essentially pass this into law considering the mess their party is in right now. I have my doubts on whether this could be considered confidence motion as it doesn't deal with government spending, but I'm no legal expert.....
Considering the bill on Net Neutrality the NDP is proposing I imagine they are opposed to this, but its easy to talk in ideals when your party has no real chance at power.
