The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Alphabet's Google is urging the government to make further changes to its lawful-access bill, warning that, as currently worded, it would allow Ottawa to create a "new surveillance infrastructure" and to impose blanket data-retention demands on tech companies that treat users as "potential criminals." The Globe's Marie Woolf writes that in briefing note sent by the tech giant to senators, who are now scrutinizing Bill C-22, suggests they make changes to the text to protect encryption. Other suggested amendments would curb the power of a minister to issue secret orders to tech companies demanding they make changes to their systems. Bill C-22 would require electronic service providers to make changes to their systems to give surveillance and monitoring capabilities to police services and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Tech companies operating in Canada would have to keep secret any ministerial orders they receive. The Google document sent to senators says the government's proposed framework mandating technical changes would "undermine the principles of transparency and due process" and "is highly problematic" for a number of reasons.
