Electronic Frontier Canada (EFC) was founded to ensure that the principles embodied in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are protected as new computing, communications, and information technologies emerge. Our work focuses on the establishment of:

• clear institutional policies and new laws that guarantee citizens' basic rights and freedoms as new computing, communications, and information technologies emerge.
• a policy of common carriage requirements for all network providers so that all forms of speech and expression, no matter how controversial, will be carried without discrimination.
• a diverse electronic community that enables all citizens to have a voice in the information age.
