Bill C-36 An Act to enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and to make amendments to other Acts (“Bill C-36”) was introduced in the House of Commons by the Government of Canada earlier this year. It enacts the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (“PPCDA”), which would repeal Part I of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and significantly update the federal privacy protection regime in Canada.
This advisory (“Advisory”) identifies certain of the most significant changes to Canadian privacy law that will be implemented under the PPCDA should it be enacted in its current form.
