Technology giants including Google, Meta and Apple have also raised concerns about the legislation\u2019s impact on privacy and encryption.<\/p>\n<p>Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree has said the government intends to amend the bill so providers would not be required to break encryption. However, metadata retention requirements would remain in place.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative public safety critic Frank Caputo said his party is prepared to support portions of the legislation aimed at providing law enforcement with additional investigative tools but believes other sections require more study.<\/p>\n<p>Caputo said provisions dealing with encryption, metadata collection, government powers and ministerial authority raise concerns about privacy, civil liberties and oversight.<\/p>\n<p>He also argued proposed rules governing the storage of personal data are too broad and give the federal government excessive authority without sufficient safeguards.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the legislation say the measures would help police investigate serious crimes, while critics contend mandatory metadata retention could create new privacy and cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n<p>The bill remains under review in Parliament<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.play1037.ca\/2026\/06\/10\/privacy-debate-grows-as-parliament-reviews-bill-c-22\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy debate grows as Parliament reviews Bill C-22 | play 103.7 https:\/\/www.play1037.ca\/2026\/06\/10\/privacy-debate-grows-as-parliament-reviews-bill-c-22\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-10&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":269256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media-cdn.socastsrm.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/3798\/files\/2025\/10\/21092847-1200x675.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-269255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269255"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":269257,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269255\/revisions\/269257"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
