Only if they have reasonable cause to believe somebody needs to be monitored, like if they're a criminal or there's police evidence. In addition there needs to be a court order to give permission.
@9JC6BKV1yr1Y
Yes, and all communications for any elected official should be public record before ANY private citizens are subjected to monitoring excepted by court order.
@9GNXSP71yr1Y
No, only in cases where a warrant is needed and deemed necessary for extreme crime and terrorist activities.
@9FCQFGM1yr1Y
Yes, but only in certain circumstances when security is in danger
@9F9MWMM1yr1Y
yes but only depending on the person
@9F98QST1yr1Y
Only if there is a confirmed threat in the country
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
No, this is a severe violation of privacy. Emails, messages and phone calls should be private. Privacy is a fundamental right and it is not the government's business what Canadians are talking about on call, email or messages. National security is an excuse the government shouldn't be allowed to monitor it's citizens regardless.
@9D4R2DY2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for those with criminal backgrounds for violent; sexual; financial; and/or gang related crimes.
