Thank you.
Microsoft announced a plan to invest $7.5 billion over the next two years for digital and AI infrastructure. In their procurement announcement, Microsoft issued a five-point plan to protect Canada's digital sovereignty. One point was to keep Canadian data on Canadian soil.
Given that Microsoft is an American company and is subject to laws such as the U.S. CLOUD Act, can Microsoft truly guarantee sovereignty over Canadian data and IP or are there legal limitations that Canadians should be aware of?
