Canada Changes Rules for Digital Data
加拿大更改數位數據規則
Introduction
The Canadian government wants to change a new law. This law is about how long phone and internet companies keep user data.
加拿大政府想要修改一項新法律。這項法律是關於電話與網路公司需要保存用戶數據的時間長短。
Main Body
The law has two parts. Part 1 helps police find people quickly. Most people like this part. Part 2 says companies must save data about where people are and who they call.
這項法律分為兩個部分。第一部分旨在幫助警方快速找到人，大多數人都支持這部分。第二部分則規定公司必須保存關於用戶位置以及通話對象的數據。
Some teachers say saving data for one year is too long. They think the government can watch too many people. Now, Minister Gary Anandasangaree wants to save data for less than one year. Maybe six months.
一些教師認為保存一年的數據時間太長。他們認為政府可能會監控太多人。現在，部長 Gary Anandasangaree 想要將數據保存時間縮短至一年以下，或許是六個月。
The Conservative party wants to pass Part 1 now and talk about Part 2 later. But the government says no. They want to keep the law together to stop crime.
保守黨希望現在先通過第一部分，稍後再討論第二部分。但政府表示不同意。他們希望將這項法律保持完整，以有效打擊犯罪。
Conclusion
The government will show these new changes to a committee soon.
政府很快將會將這些新變更提交給委員會。
