Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne says he has not been consulted on a cybersecurity bill that would allow Ottawa to secretly block individual Canadians from accessing telecommunications or internet networks.
“We’re not consulted on specific pieces of legislation before they’re tabled,” Dufresne said at an Oct. 6 House of Commons ethics committee meeting, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
