dbpprop:abstract
  • Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act is Canada's (proposed) federal statute governing lawful access. The Act first, requires telephone and Internet service providers to include an interception capability as they introduce new technologies, and second, allows law enforcement to compel ISPs to disclose subscriber information without a warrant. Concerns raised include: Creation of new surveillance powers while reducing the level of privacy protection and oversight associated with that surveillance. Increased burden to ISPs who would be required to retain traffic data for significant periods of time. "MITA" was not passed into law, as parliament was dissolved before the bill's final reading. Anticipating passing of this bill, however, ISPs such as Bell Sympatico have modified their various policies and agreements to contain language to the effect that they may monitor, investigate, and disclose information to satisfy laws, regulations, or government requests. In February of 2009 Liberal MP Marlene Jennings introduced a private member's bill by the same name.
