Thanks! Not sure if it's the mobile layout that's cooked, or maybe it's paywalled or something? All I see are headlines.

Greer’s report notes the proposal calls for cloud services where data would be “processed, transmitted and stored exclusively in Canada.” It would exclude suppliers subject to laws letting foreign governments access Canada’s data without written consent. (Another requirement Greer did not mention: providers could not be “subject to foreign laws that permit foreign governments to request measures that could affect or discontinue the service.”)

Lmao, yeah that's kind of the point - why would anybody want a foreign country snooping their shit? I suppose if there's any benefit to breaking this wall it would be that it would (hopefully) force the Canadian government and businesses to ditch Microsoft. The fact we use them as much as we do is terrifying. A contract is only as trustworthy as the person you signed it with, and I have little faith that MS isn't already snooping the massive amounts of foreign government data they have their hands on.
