Canadians, please take urgent action to let the Senators know of your concerns regarding: Canada's
Patriot Act 3 before the Senate

The committee meets Monday to hear the Ministers involved make their sales pitch. Some of the
questions you should be looking for answers to include:

Why is the Senate considering giving 8 different Ministers the Executive power on their sole
authority to issue Interim Orders in lieu of laws without first consulting Parliament, and exempts
the Orders from being even examined in advance for their legality or constitutionality?

Why does the government want to establish a reserve pool of military judges in the event of
martial law?

Why is the Senate considering reintroducing searches without warrant?
Can the Interim Orders under the Quarantine Act be used to order forced vaccinations and/or
internment as in the US Homeland Security Act?

Why does the government want to removes the protections of the Privacy Act of their personal data
collected by the government within Canada?

Why does the government want to gives the personal data of Canadian travelers without any control
on how the information will be used? If you are black-listed in the United States, will you be
black-listed from flying in Canada? What can you do about it if you are?

What is the demonstrable need for Big Brother databases in a free and democratic society? Why does
the USA get all the personal data of Canadians even when they are not flying to the US?

Please call, email and fax all of the Senators on the Transport Committee:

Joan Fraser (Chair, L) T: 613-943-9556 F: 943-9558 frasej

Canada's Patriot Act 3 before the Senate

The Senate is holding hearings into Bill C-7 the latest piece of Canada's police state
legislation. This bill is the third version of it that they have tried to pass over the last 2
years: it was C-42 then C-55 then C-17, now called C-7. This bill is horrific: it gives unlimited
power without parliamentary review to 8 different ministers in the form of interim orders, with an
explicit exemption from the orders being examined for their legality or constitutionality. It
gives these orders under the Quarantine Act, and provides National Defense with a reserve pool of
military judges to prepare for the event of martial law, so it's truly frightening; all of us who
have examined the bill feel it must be stopped by any means, although we recognize that stopping
legislation in the Senate is rare and very difficult.

The bureaucrats have been testifying all week before the committee, and the questions from the
Senators clearly showed that there are a number who are strongly and weakly opposed to it, as well
as 2 strongly pushing it (Day and the Chair: Fraser). So that means that there is the possibility,
albeit very slim, of stopping the legislation.

Unfortunately, some of the Senators who are the most opposed are not on the Transport committee
(Andreuchuk, Beaudoin); the government stacked the deck by sending it to the Transport committee
instead of Legal and Constitutional Affairs where it belongs, but would have a much rougher ride.
