In this article – “The freight train of privacy legislative reform keeps rolling” – we review developments in Canadian privacy legislative reform in 2022; Québec’s Bill 64 which poses a number of personal information and confidentiality requirements on companies carrying on business in that province; the federal government’s Bill C-27 designed to create a new statutory framework governing personal information practices in the private sector; and Bill C-26 that seeks to create new powers for the federal government to respond swiftly to national security threats affecting federal critical infrastructure systems.
This article is authored by Adam Kardash, partner and Chair, Privacy and Data Management; Colleen Morawetz, Privacy Knowledge Management lawyer; and Maryna Polataiko, associate, Privacy and Data Management.
