"Google says changes to Canada's police search powers bill haven't eased concerns"
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/google-says-changes-to-canadas-police-search-powers-bill-havent-eased-concerns

The article seems to do a poor job explaining a few things.

Bill C22 is not obvious on decryption:

Quote:
"Decryption
(4) No obligations under this Act are to be construed as compelling an electronic service provider to decrypt, or to ensure that an authorized person is able to decrypt, any information that is encrypted by a person to whom the electronic service provider provides services, unless the encryption was provided by the electronic service provider and the provider possesses the information necessary to decrypt the information."

My intpretation: if the service provider has the means to decrypt the data then the provider can be forced to decrypt the data.
