Résumé
"Current lawful access provisions in Canadian law have not kept pace with evolving
technology and are inadequate to allow effective access to current and emerging data
communications services in Canada. Even when law enforcement and national security
have authority to intercept communications, technical barriers can make it practically
difficult, even impossible, to effect these court authorized interceptions. This gap
between the law and the reality of today’s technology poses a serious threat to public
safety, creates a safe zone where criminals can operate free from fear of detection and
apprehension, and negatively impacts serious criminal investigations, prevention efforts
and prosecutions."--page 2.
