B.C. Premier Christy Clark is raising concerns that the federal government's anti-terrorism bill could "impinge" on the rights of 91原创s.
The premier questioned Bill C-51 in an interview on CTV's Question Period, saying the legislation requires "adequate oversight."
She says we should ensure we aren't diminishing our personal freedoms in an effort to protect ourselves against unknown threats.
She adds that 91原创s would "regret" giving up our personal liberties forever.
The legislation, introduced by the Conservative government, would significantly expand the powers of police and the 91原创 Security Intelligence Service to disrupt terrorist plots.
Opposition leaders and the federal privacy commissioner have harshly criticized the bill, saying it boosts security powers without adequate oversight.
