Let's be clear that the CCLA is not an organization that many Canadians have even heard of (unlike the ACLU), and that their stance really doesn't carry any weight more than any other organization weighing in on this.

The act was passed specifically to curtail charter abuses from the previous bill and in the end, still answers to the charter.

I'm Canadian and I'm both familiar with CCLA and glad they exist, especially at the moment. Not to be hyperbolic, but many people around the world don't know Amnesty International exists until they find themselves locked up without due process and find that they have a weighty advocate.
