Now I'm wondering what the Tories were trying to achieve with this legislation. It flies in the face of natural justice for a start. I'm quite sure if they work a bit harder and with a bit less presumptuousness they can craft legislation that's valid but still achieves it objective without denying anyone natural justice.

To be fair i dont think this can be pinned on Harper:

I just grabbed this off Wiki:

According to the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the overarching agency dealing with the law, the security certificate provision has existed in "one form or another for over 20 years."[1] Its use has been documented at least as far back as 1979 however[2], and it has been reported that its first use was in the 1960s deporting an alleged Italian mob boss. [3] It is housed within the parameters of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (formerly the Immigration and Refugee Act, which replaced the Immigration Act in 1976).

And i cant find it right now but i think it was the liberal government after 9/11 that tied this law to anti-terror measures.
