Gov’t introduces security changes

The Trudeau Government has introduced long-awaited security legislation after consulting with Canadians.

The bill would limit the ability of the Canadian Security Agency to disrupt terrorist plots…but would also give it the power to conduct its own  cyberattacks against foreign targets. The bill would also set up a new watchdog to bring all security services, including the military, under one embrella.
