Minister open to changing bill that would give police easier access to personal data

OTTAWA - Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says he is open to amending proposed border security legislation that would make it easier for police to obtain access to information about Canadians.

Anandasangaree told a House of Commons committee Thursday he hopes that with the "right type of amendments," the legislation — which has drawn fire from civil rights voices — will receive parliamentary approval.
