It's definitely the style of this government's legislation. Bill C-22 is full of the same kind of thing: granting a sweeping power then advising that it shouldn't be abused, though that abuse will be legal. We're supposed to not notice, or to just trust them because they said they'd be nice.

Surveillance Bill C-22 for “assisting law enforcement” meanwhile the RCMP acts like a bunch of crooks assaulting indigenous individuals and harassing journalists and the liberals are over here telling us they need to be more powerful to “protect Canadians”

Yeah, trust Mark Carney, a guy who regularly misrepresents himself.
