I would say that what it means to us is that we control our data, that it is stored here in Canada, that it's transferred here in Canada and that we have control over it.
Something that is very concerning, not just to CCI but also to our members, is the U.S. CLOUD Act, which is how the U.S. government can compel companies to provide data that's stored on their servers. Even with a Canadian company, my health data might be stored on a U.S. server, and the U.S. government can demand that it be provided. That's obviously forgoing not just my privacy but sovereignty as well, when we get to more technical issues of national security and other parts of how the government is working.
For us, it would be leveraging and finding opportunities to build sovereignty here in Canada and building a stack that is mostly Canadian, because we don't have the technology right now to be able to build out a full stack, but we want to make sure that we do the best we can to ensure that we're protecting Canadians, protecting their data and protecting their privacy, and that starts with sovereignty, so we need to own it. We need to be able to control it if we want to be able to protect ourselves.
