Here is an official quote from the privacy Commissioner.
“Read together, the provisions of [these bills] would substantially diminish the privacy rights of Canadians. They do so by enhancing the capacity of the state to conduct surveillance and access private information while reducing the frequency and vigour of judicial scrutiny. In essence, they make it easier for the state to subject more individuals to surveillance and scrutiny.” — Jennifer Stoddart, Privacy Commissioner of Canada
And you are right. It is odd that we havn't heard about them.
