Local MP Says Suggestions Are Being Taken At Controversial Bill

Saint John MP Rodney Weston returning to the House of Commons next week and one of the big issues of late has been the controversial C-30 bill, also known as the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act.

It has come under public scrutiny as critics say the bill would force internet service providers to allow access to private data without a warrant.

Weston tells CHSJ News he understands how there can be some controversy as the topic is not only sensitive but relatively new.

He says Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is open to suggestions on changes to the bill but his number one priority is to protect children.
