The bill, which has been defended by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, was proposed as a way to investigate and prevent criminal electronic communications. But privacy watchdogs say the bill would give police carte blanche to view private information.
"It's warrantless, evasive and costly," said Pinto. "The bill would have huge implications on your freedoms. We want people to use the internet to the fullest extent possible without having to worry about authorities obtaining the information without a warrant."
Pinto said she hopes Canadians become more aware about the bill and pressure the government to listen and get rid of the proposed bill.
"We hope to forward the idea of openness and engage Canadians in order to make sure the Internet stays open," she said.
