The Security of Freedom: A Conference on Canada's Anti-Terrorism Bill In response to the events of September 11th, the Government of Canada has proposed Bill C-36 (the Anti-Terrorism Act), a complex collection of legislative changes designed to "combat terrorism and terrorist activities at home and abroad". This legislation is broadly conceived, and affects areas of Canadian life from immigration to charitable giving, and from privacy to trial fairness. Given the scope of this legislation, and the compressed time for consideration, the Faculty of Law presents a conference involving Canada's leading legal academics, which asks important questions about the scope of the Bill C-36 and the relationship between national security and restrictions on rights and freedoms.
