There's plenty of bills to look towards as controversial in the past (Michael Geist mentions another CPC bill in his latest article).

I have no issues with putting criticism where it's due, but this new bill isn't a CPC bill. It's also omitting some of the stuff Liberals themselves have tabled in recent years, and to say "i would expect this from the CPC" is passing as if the Liberals / NDP are above this or have some type of higher virtuous presence.

They are not. This isn't a CPC bill, the criticism should be where it is originates.
