OTTAWA — New anti-terrorism measures are needed to protect the public from extremists who hate Canadian values, says Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney.<\/p>\n

The international jihadi movement has “declared war on Canada” and other countries around the world, Blaney told MPs Tuesday as they began hearing testimony on the federal legislation.<\/p>\n

The House of Commons public safety committee plans to hear from more than 50 witnesses over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

The Conservatives brought in the bill, which would broaden the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s mandate, following the murders of two Canadian soldiers last October.<\/p>\n

The legislation would give CSIS the ability to disrupt terror plots, make it easier for police to limit the movements of a suspect, expand no-fly list powers, crack down on terrorist propaganda, and remove barriers to sharing security-related information.<\/p>\n

The new disruptive powers do not apply to “lawful” advocacy, protest and dissent, but some critics say they could be used against activists who protest without an official permit.<\/p>\n

Blaney took issue with the idea the bill would allow CSIS to trample civil liberties, telling the committee he wanted to “set the record straight.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
