Upcoming Privacy Law Changes – Bill C-27

No items found.

Have you heard about the upcoming changes to Canada's privacy laws? Bill C-27 is a piece of legislation which has been proposed, and is in the process of being considered by Parliament. You can read the Legislative Summary here.

If this legislation passes, it will make significant changes to Canada's privacy landscape, and add and change organizations' obligations when it comes to handling personal information (of employees, customers and clients, as well as other parties).

The legislation will also introduce a new privacy law tribunal, as well as measures related to artificial intelligence. The new laws will include new restrictions around collecting, using, and disclosing personal information, and impose transparency requirements in handling employees' data.

Importantly, the new privacy legislation (the "Consumer Privacy Protection Act") will explicitly require that organizations implement and maintain a privacy management program that “includes the policies, practices and procedures the organization has put in place to fulfill its obligations under this Act”.

Non-compliance can result in significant fines, and failure to protect your employees' privacy can damage your company's reputation, erode trust, and potentially carry civil liability.

We can help you stay up-to-date with the latest privacy requirements and develop appropriate privacy and data policies. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist you in navigating these changes.
