Trespassing is one aspect I can think of. You could try to peacefully protest inside the lobby of Encana/Cenovous's buildings, but if they ask you to leave, that might well become an unlawful, yet peaceful, protest.
The wording of this bill is important, as my admittedly weak attempt at searching the criminal code for "unlawful protest" came up empty. But if VO #23's wording in an earlier post is what the change represents, then it limits itself to section 65, which explicitly refers to riots.
