But isn't that where this bill is completely important - it outlines the nature of the information, as well as the situations under which it can be obtained. The entire security/law enforcement apparatus is designed to allow incursions to personal privacy when warranted - I don't see how this differs.
Edit: I do see how it differs - this spells out that ISP's and telco's must provide the system of logging and access. But the internet is different than the real world - if the providers don't provide that access, how can enforcement gain any visibility into whats going on when they need it?
Could this power be abused? Yes, like any other protected access to the private lives of citizens, but we also have a judicial system that espouses the right to fair trial, where such abuses can be brought to light and the case dismissed or counter charges filed.
In an ideal world, we'd have the absolute right to privacy, but the problem is that the criminals don't self-disclose their activities.
