Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act (MITA), Bill-C74 was first introduced in the Canadian House of Commons on November, 15, 2005 [1]. Introduced as a part of a package of “Lawful Access” proposals, MITA if passed, would require telephone and internet service providers to design, create and maintain interception capabilities into existing networks and into new technologies as they are introduced into Canada. Second, it would allow law enforcement to compel telephone and internet service providers to disclose subscriber information without a warrant. [1].

“Lawful Access” provisions for interception of communications already exist in Canada under the Criminal Code Act, first adopted in 1974 [1]. The Criminal Code was amended in the 1980s and again in the 1990’s to allow law enforcement the ability to search and cease computer systems [1]. In 1984 the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Act was passed by Parliament giving law enforcement the right to lawfully intercept private communication in defense of national security [1]. Supporters of MITA and other “Lawful Access” legislation, being proposed to date, believe the passage of these bills will bring much needed updates to existing “Lawful Access” legislation to support [law enforcement investigative techniques to keep pace with technological advancement and its changes[1] Critics have raised concerns including:

• 2 existing points

The dissolution of Parliament on November 28th, 2005, and ended all bills introduced during the 38th Parliament by the, then Liberal government, including MITA Bill C-74 (http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/prime_ministers/clips/13118/).

Private Member’s Bill C-416 and C-285

Liberal MP Marlene Jennings re-introduced MITA as Private Member’s Bill C-416 in March, 2007 and again in February of 2009, as Private Member`s Bill C-285 (http://www.parl.gc.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?billId=3627149&Language=E&Mode=1&View=3). In both instances, MITA only received one reading before new elections were called, ending the review process of this bill.
