Strong Borders are Just the Start: What you Need to Know about Bill C-2

Join thought leaders to understand how Bill C-2's sweeping surveillance powers will affect individuals, companies, and organizations
About this Event

Bill C-2, introduced to bolster border security and reinforce the country’s immigration and asylum system, also includes provisions that have little apparent connection to securing the Canada-US border — such as giving government authority to open mail, allowing requests for information (that cannot be refused), and issuing secret orders to disclose information.

The impact of the bill’s broad powers will facilitate requests from American and other governments to any person or organization that "provides a service to the public” for information that could include personal information, corporate strategies, donor identities, and other details that could be weaponized to ruin competitors, discredit dissenters, and undermine opponents.

Join thought leaders from industry, government, academia, and civil society to explore how Bill C-2 will affect your career, your organization, and your Charter rights.

A networking reception will follow the formal program.

Registration is limited to ensure a high speaker-delegate ratio and a strong participatory experience
