- it drastically expands the definition of 'security'

- it will severely chill freedom of expression
- it will allow government institutions like Health Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency to share information about you with the RCMP
- Canada already has a troubling regime of preventative arrest and detention; Bill C-51 proposes to make it even worse
- it would give CSIS the power to act like a police force, while still allowing it to operate secretly as an intelligence gathering service.
