In Canada, freedom of speech is a benefit, not a right. The Canadian government regulates what can be made public, it does so if the disclosure will benefit them. If you want to experience China, just travel to Canada, it's only one step behind. As a Canadian, I do not wear the blinders most Canadians do.
Most of these privacy laws are ridiculous.
They are confidentiality laws you are happy to have with your lawyer I'm sure although it would appear any expectation of privacy coming from the current Canadian government (seizing of bank accounts and knowledge of personal medical decisions) is rendered moot.
The Canadian government has no problem invading our privacy but when they are asked to produce anything they instantly bring up confidentially.
Can be disclosed? I didn't know these recordings were classified.
The actual voice recordings are controlled, the transcripts produced, which trend to redact private or secure information or edited for clarity or language are released to the public.
When was the last time you heard one?
