"Restriction - essential categories
(4.1) The Governor in Council may make a regulation requiring the retention of a category of metadata under paragraph (2)(d) only if the Governor in Council is satisfied that the category and all its elements are essential for facilitating effective and timely investigations under the Criminal Code or for facilitating the effective and timely exercise of powers or performance of duties and functions under the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act."

Paragraph (2)(d) mentions a meta data period not to exceed six months.

Does (4.1) imply that this period could be extended?

IDK

A privacy lawyer would be much better qualified to answer that question than me.

Just another example of what is not specified in Bill C22 that is a problem.

A lawyer really needs to explain Bill C22 (in the third reading form) so that people can understand the implications.

IMO Bill C22 is a freaking sh*t-show.
