Relevant information:
- The government news release, and Global News coverage of the press conference
- Online consultations page
- Backgrounder, discussion paper, and background to the discussion paper (no, I don't know the difference between the backgrounder and the background document... I'll read them both and tell you later)
- Most recent report on the terrorist threat level in Canada, by the Department of Public Safety
It is my intention to read all of those documents and summarize them on this blog, as well as to participate in the consultations to the greatest degree I can. But life is a little busy at the moment, so I don't think I'll get a chance to read and summarize all of those documents and provide suggestions/opinions related to this consultation process, until probably close to the end of the month. So I thought I'd put this short post out for now, to make sure any readers are aware of the consultations and have plenty of time to prepare their own thoughts if they wish to participate. I'm very much in favour of democratic participation, so whether you agree with the positions I've taken on this bill or not, if you're reading this, I encourage you to express whatever opinions you may have.
