Abstract: |
The right to privacy is claimed to be the foundation of all other human rights. In times of turmoil, it is often tempting to sacrifice these rights for safety. In the wake of September 11, the Canadian government is considering implementing technologies that will severely restrict the individual’s privacy. A warning is issued that if implemented, Canada will no longer be a country of freedom, but of oppression. Presented to the Corporate Privacy & Information Access Branch and the IT Security, Common IT Services Branch of the B.C. Ministry of Management Services, Victoria, British Columbia, February 13, 2003. |
