What is in Stephen Harper's omnibus Bill C-51? Does it address the security threats we face? Could it undermine civil liberties and stifle lawful dissent and activism? And is there a better way forward to protect both security and freedoms?

Join an expert panel and public discussion hosted by Members of Parliament Randall Garrison and Murray Rankin.

Featured panelists:

Reg Whitaker is a distinguished academic and expert in constitutional law and privacy issues. The co-author of 'Secret Service: Political Policing in Canada', he has written extensively on issues of intelligence and state surveillance and advised government inquiries on terrorism-related cases.

Laurel Collins teaches at the University of Victoria and studies social movements and collective action. She will speak to the ‘chilling effect’ this bill could have on lawful dissent and activism in Canada.

Randall Garrison is the Opposition critic for Public Safety and a key figure in the debate in Parliament on Bill C-51. A former criminal justice instructor, he is now Vice Chair of the House of Commons’ Committee on Public Safety and National Security.

The FlipCam video recorder lasted for 1:50:00 and space on camera ran out shortly after.  
I used my tablet to record 2 video segments, the audio might not be the greatest. And i caught a bit when the camera battery died, then the rest of the Q & A session at the end.
