If it's illegal in Canada, well, then I'm sorry to hear that. Volla is seeking constructive collaboration, and the entire design of the UA is set for open and transparent collaboration. You know, if we could sidestep Google, we would all gain: the companies involved, the citizens, organisations and companies, as well as security itself.
As for Canada law, would it be possible (legal) for you to get certificated by UA (without actively partaking in the consortium)?
