BILL C-36 This Bill provides similar measures to that of the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" Act, i.e. the USA PATRIOT Act passed by the United States in the same time frame. The bill's passage has been compared to the government's activation of the War Measures Act in response to terrorist activity by the FLQ . OPPOSITION It was opposed by Marjory LeBreton , David Paciocco , Andrew Telegdi {Link without Title} and others.. SPECIFIC PROVISIONS EXPIRATION Some of the bill's provisions expired on March 1 , 2007 . The Conservative government urged that these be renewed, while all three opposition parties opposed it. Specifically, the provisions had to do with preventative arrest and investigative hearings. On February 27, 2007, the House of Commons voted 159 - 124 against renewing the provisions, which later led to the expiration of these provisions. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
