Canadian Personal Data Processing Residency Act

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Establishes mandatory Canadian data processing residency requirements for regulated sectors. Closes the TELUS Business Connect / RingCentral gap where physician-patient communications are processed on US infrastructure in violation of provincial HIA and PHIPA. Subprocessor chain liability — Canadian entities liable for violations by their subprocessors. Rebadge model explicitly prohibited in regulated sectors.

Rationale

health_data_residency_violation 34%. Subprocessor chain liability.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 103). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
