Paula Simons, a Liberal, Trudeau-appointed Senator, has come out against Bill S-7, an amendment to the Customs Act she says would violate Canadians’ privacy rights.

“Travelers could be targeted for phone and computer searches based on their political views. It will put the privacy rights of thousands of Canadian travellers in real jeopardy,” the Liberal Senator warned.

As previously reported by The Counter Signal, Bill S-7, which recently passed its first reading in the Senate, would amend the Customs Act and give border agents the authority to digitally “examine documents, including emails, text messages, receipts, photographs or videos, that are stored on a personal digital device.”
