Why it matters
Privacy is the right that protects all the others
Bill 2026:114 is moving faster than scrutiny allows. It grants seven agencies the power to read private messages without a court order — a safeguard that has held for forty years — and it reached committee in under three weeks.
Journalists cannot protect sources, lawyers cannot protect clients, and none of us can speak freely when someone may be reading along. The committee can still demand a full judicial review. A petition delivered before the vote is how we make them.

What happens next
The committee can still demand a full judicial review
A petition delivered the day before the vote forces the question onto the record. Committee members must answer for it — in the room and afterwards. That is the lever we hold, and it has worked twice before.
“Without source protection there is no investigative journalism — this bill guts both in a single clause.”
