Both the blanket metadata retention and encryption backdoor requirements of this legislation are illegal in the European Union. And both these things have a good chance of being ruled illegal by the Canadian Supreme Court.

According to Michael Geist, this is what we’ve seen so far from the Liberals about Bill C-22.

> Bill C-22, three days of House debate:

> – One paragraph on mandatory metadata retention

> – A process answer on encryption back doors

> – An admission this is only „a first step“

> – A defence of the lower threshold as „higher than mere suspicion“

There’s a good chance that this legislation would result in Canada being blocked from encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, and other platforms that refuse to comply with metadata retention and encryption backdoors.
