Best greetings,

How i read this, it doesn't look like this will affect OpenBSD as a
project. It would only affect companies using OpenBSD and require them
to allow the Canadian government access (Im assuming by means of some
form of official request) to that decrypted data. For companies storing
data in decrypted form after being encrypted it would seem similar to
how this is handled in the US, but it looks like companies who use end
to end ecyrption (which have no access to decrypted user content) will
have to provide a backdoor.
