Lawful access hits the house

The federal government's "lawful access" legislation, also known as the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act (MITA) was introduced in the House today. The government's press release is here: Legislation to modernize investigative techniques introduced today. I guess the bill's many critics are hoping for a quick election call.

Update: Michael Geist, who has been critical of the proposal since the beginning, has some things to say about Bill C-74: Michael Geist - The Lawful Access Spin.
