Quote:
The regulations now require publishers to decrypt encrypted data contained in a publication and to remove or disable systems designed to restrict or limit access to the publication before submitting it to the LAC.
Moreover, publishers are required to also provide the LAC with a copy of the software necessary to access the publication, the technical information necessary for access, and any "meta-data" associated with the electronic publication.

Note that Canada has fairly strong
Orphaned Works legislation which would allow reproduction of works abandoned by their creators. Requiring works to be submited to the LAC in unencrypted format makes it possible to implement this policy.
