At issue is Part 2 of Bill C-22, which would require telecommunication, internet and social media companies to adapt their systems to allow police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) easier access to data for investigations, provided they have a warrant. It would also require core providers to retain metadata for up to one year.

Companies impacted by the bill say the demand would force them to create back doors, opening them up to adversaries.

There was really no need to rely on unspecified "companies" there. That is what the bill itself says. Read it; it's pretty clear if you know anything about tech stuff. That part is separate from and entirely different than the section referred to earlier in the paragraph, the one that would require mandatory data retention.
