U.S. representatives are warning Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree that the federal government’s lawful access bill could create “significant” risks to the security and data privacy of Americans.
U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan, who chairs the U.S. Committee on the Judiciary, and Congressman Brian Must, who chairs the U.S. Committee on Foreign Affairs, sent a letter to Anandasangaree on May 7, outlining their concerns with Bill C-22, also known as the Lawful Access Act. The letter was first reported by Washington-based media outlet Just The News.
