B.C. political parties urged to work together on DRIPA repeal
Letter calls for cross-party cooperation to address controversial data-sharing agreement
A letter to B.C. lawmakers urges both government and opposition to set aside partisan interests and collaborate on repealing the Domestic and Residential Internet Privacy Act (DRIPA). The writer argues the agreement was rushed without adequate research into its consequences for government departments and citizens. The letter questions whether the opposition would support repeal if the government brought forward such a bill, or if they are more interested in bringing down the government.
