Due to an amendment a House of Commons committee made, Bill C-26's clauses were renumbered without much notice.

So instead of repealing one small section of the cybersecurity bill, the foreign interference law — which was fast-tracked through Parliament this spring — actually repeals the entire second half of Bill C-26, the cybersecurity portion.

If the error had gone unnoticed, it would have repealed the "vast majority, the most operative provisions" of Bill C-26, said Conservative Sen. Denise Batters.
