‘We will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do,’ Carney says

[…]

“The upcoming budget will balance the operating deficit in three years by reducing wasteful government spending and doing more with less,” Carney said. “But the fact is, even with such efficiencies and with better management, we will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do, so we can do more of what we must do to build a bigger and better Canada.”

It remains unclear exactly what those sacrifices will be or how they will be distributed.

    There’s a lot left to sacrifice.

    We could sacrifice our data privacy to the US in bill C-2.

    the only requirements to make an information demand is that the officer has “reasonable grounds to suspect” that any offence has been or will be committed under any Act of Parliament, and that the information they demand will assist in the investigation of that offence. “Reasonable grounds to suspect” is an incredibly low burden to meet–much lower than “reasonable grounds to believe”. Officers can thus make information demands even where they have nothing beyond a mere suspicion that an offence might be committed.
