Bill C-22 passes third reading after Liberals adopt measures to limit debate | BetaKit

▤ Summary

Bill C-22 has passed third reading in the Canadian House of Commons and now moves to the Senate. The bill would expand law enforcement access to personal communications and data, while also changing how long companies must retain metadata. Tech firms and privacy advocates continue to warn that the law could raise privacy, security, and compliance risks for software providers operating in Canada. Some companies, including Signal and NordVPN, have said they may exit the market if the bill becomes law. The Senate is not expected to take up the bill until the fall, so the final outcome still remains uncertain.
