(Reuters) Privacy groups and Internet service providers (ISPs) are starting to worry over proposed amendments to Canadian laws that would allow police to monitor e-mails. The amendments would allow law enforcement agencies, after they have obtained a court order, to monitor the Internet activity of ISP and wireless customers. Additionally, the new laws would require all wireless providers and ISPs to offer the monitoring technology. In reaction to the proposals, privacy groups fear the arrival of a "police state," while ISPs are concerned that they will have to pay for the new technology.

After joining 33 other countries in signing the Council of Europe's Convention on Cyber-Crime, which requires countries to criminalize the use of computer systems to commit certain crimes, Canada vouched to implement protective tools.
ISP privacy groups and law enforcement agencies will consult until November 15 to discuss the proposed changes to lawful access laws and the criminal code.
