Border bill raises questions about expanded data sharing with U.S.: Citizen Lab

  • Canada’s Liberal government tabled Bill C-2 on June 3, 2025, to enhance border security and implement new data-sharing powers with the United States and others.
  • The bill enables ratification of the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention, a treaty designed to expedite cross-border law enforcement data sharing but lacking strong human rights safeguards.
  • Citizen Lab published an analysis on February 24, 2025, detailing constitutional and human rights challenges posed by Bill C-2 and highlighting concerns about uninformed public debate and democratic accountability.
  • Bill C-2 would grant Canadian authorities warrantless access to voluntarily provided information and could compel disclosure of services provided to individuals, raising fears of significant privacy erosion.
  • Experts warn that without clearer transparency and safeguards, Bill C-2 may undermine Canadian constitutional protections and human rights, following a pattern of cautious cooperation with U.S. border and security pressures.
