The Bill provides no clear mechanism for how suspicion needs to be determined. That opens the door, again, to potential misuse or discretionary investigations without adequate justification. The investigatory powers later outlined in the Bill allow for searches, seizures and potentially intrusive measures that could be triggered by these undefined suspicions. Are we seriously suggesting that businesses can face such disruptions on the basis of such a vague suspicion? Such actions risk being disproportionate and harmful to legitimate business.
