>Ban on cash transactions over $10,000

>The authorities and Canada Post can open your mail

>The warrant authorizes the peace officer or public officer, or a person acting under their direction, to install, activate, use, maintain, monitor and remove the tracking device, including covertly

>ISPs would be required to comply with ministerial orders (not warrants) to intercept communications
