Canada proposes overhaul to its national security laws
Canada has introduced extensive security legislation that includes the creation of a "super" national security review body.
The Liberals says its proposed overhaul of national security laws will shed light and oversight on the activities of the country's spy agencies.
It says the changes will balance both rights and security.
Critics say that does not go far enough in keeping people safe or protecting the privacy of Canadians.
The national security overhaul dates back to a 2015 general election promise by the Liberals.
The party committed to repealing what they called "problematic elements" of controversial sweeping anti-terrorism legislation passed by the former Conservative government.
