British Columbia (B.C.) has introduced privacy legislation covering the private sector. B.C.'s move is aimed at ensuring that the Federal privacy legislation covering the private sector, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"), does not take effect in B.C. after January 1, 2004, as would be the case in any province or territory that does have its own "substantially similar" legislation in place by that date.
