What do you think the phrase "non-Canadian data" means? From what you write, you appear to presume that "non-Canadian data" means data that is not about Canadian citizens anywhere in the world, not about businesses or individuals on Canadian soil, and not physically stored in Canada. I don't see anything in the article clarifying that. You may be right, but then again the discussion could have been about data that is physically stored in the data centre but is not about Canadian citizens or resident entities. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that what was being discussed was data stored in the data centre on Canadian soil, given the clue that what they wanted was the data-centre exempt from jurisdiction. If Canada was asserting jurisdiction over data not in the data centre, I would have expected the terms to be worded around seeking worldwide exemption from jurisdiction. JM2C.
