Why should Canadian secret police collect their own "bulk data"?    Most electronic communication in Canada is routed through the USA.   The US agencies are permitted to intercept all communications of "non-US" citizens.  Under the Five Eyes Agreement, information is shared between the US and its allies, so that anything interesting can be turned over to CSIS or the RCMP, without any Canadian or US warrants.  No-one in the government has broken any law, because there are no laws to protect Canadians from surveillance by the USA.
