I'm less concerned about the people committing crimes. I'm concerned about the innocent Canadians whose metadata is going to be collected. Are you at all concerned...?
We saw the Salt Typhoon hack in the United States, where some very sensitive personal data was hacked by foreign agents. It was discovered after the fact that it was the systemic vulnerabilities that were required by the U.S. government that allowed for this. I know the legislation says that it doesn't want to create systemic vulnerabilities, but I'm not sure that lawful access can be facilitated without creating.... You said there's a risk. Then we're also talking about forcing companies to keep people's metadata—blanket—for the whole country for an entire year.
Are we not creating a treasure trove of people's personal data that hackers are going to want to have access to?
