The Liberals have promised to amend certain aspects of C-51 that they feel go too far. Mr. Trudeau is supportive of the newly-granted powers to police and spy agencies, but would support more oversight and parliamentary review.

What is Bill C-51?

• Enables information sharing across 17 federal agencies without judicial barriers
• Allows police to detain terrorism suspects for 7 days without charge
• Lets the Minister of Public Safety add individuals to the no-fly list
• Enables CSIS to disrupt terror plots, protests, and websites interfering with the safety or economic stability of Canada
• Prohibits speech that promotes or glorifies terrorism
