CBA voices concern over ISP monitoring
The CBA has raised concerns over the trend by Canadian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to modify their customer agreements to provide them with the right to monitor or investigate their customers' online communications.
Online monitoring was previously addressed by the former government through Bill C-74, the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act, which contained proposals for ISP monitoring and investigation of customers' online communications. However, the CBA notes that the practices permitted by the amended customer agreements would be "significantly more intrusive" and would have serious consequences for solicitor-client privilege as well as on the privacy of Canadians generally.
