the Canadian Council for Refugees: Anyone who values freedom of expression and the duty of elected officials to act in our best interests should be concerned. For example, the Canadian Council for Refugees says "many refuges flee situations where alleged security risks are used as a justification for government to suspend rights... and commit serious abuses." , according to Winnipeg Free Press. The bill turns into a secret police service that can use special warrants to commit illegal acts against people who have never been charged or convicted. Bill C-51, fast-tracked concurrently through the House of Commons and a compliant Senate, is only now being understood by many people and groups. Unfortunately, the governed have views about potential problems with the Canada new anti-terrorism bill that will never be heard in Parliament. One of the main flaws in the bill is the near-total lack of scrutiny for the vastly expanded Canadian Security Intelligence Service mandate. There is no ongoing oversight by elected officials and a very underfunded review committee.
