Current rabble poll

What problematic parts of Bill C-51 do the Liberals need to repeal?

Guess what?! The Liberals have started the formal review process for national security, which has specifically identified problems with the former Conservative government's highly controversial Bill C-51.

Let us all remember that the Liberals, then the third-party opposition, were apparently against parts of Bill C-51, yet still voted for it.

The new Liberal government has now promised to repeal the problematic parts of the bill and introduce new measures that will balance security with rights and freedoms.
