Estimated costs for lawful access bill released

Bill C-30 now has an estimated price tag.

According to the CBC, the online surveillance bill will cost at least $80 million to implement. 

The bill would update Canadian law when it comes to crimes committed online. 

It would force online service providers to give costumer information to the police. 

The bill will cost $20 million a year for the first four years and $6.7 million a year after that. 

It is unclear if those are the only costs associated with the legislation.
