Subhead:Cabinet could prohibit a telecommunications provider from offering service to any “specified person” without a warrant.#
The Liberal government plans to introduce legislation that would allow them to unilaterally quarantine Canadians from the internet, despite international recognition of internet access as a human right, reported the National Post.
Bill C-8, undergoing its second reading, empowers the Minister of Industry (Mélanie Joly), in consultation with the Minister of Public Safety (Gary Anandasangaree), to direct telecom providers (e.g., Rogers, Telus) to disconnect internet services for "any specified person" by amending the Telecommunications Act.
The industry minister could prohibit a telecommunications provider from offering service to any “specified person” without a warrant, with oversight only occurring after the order.
