After reviewing the document, one of Canada's foremost authorities on cyber-security says the clandestine operation by the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) was almost certainly illegal.

Another horrifying example of how the intelligence community, degenerated into totalitarian surveillance regimes, destroy any trust in the use of any technology.
