Canada - Government of Canada introduces legislation to Protect Canadians’ Privacy in the Digital Age
The Government of Canada introduced Bill C-36, an Act to enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA), to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts.
The development and adoption of digital and data-driven technologies are creating major opportunities for Canada's economy. But they also raise new risks for Canadians' privacy, especially as artificial intelligence becomes more widely used. The PPCDA would modernize and strengthen Canada's private sector privacy law. As a key element in advancing Canada's National AI Strategy - AI for All, it is essential both to mitigate the risks associated with digital technologies - including AI - and to foster public trust in their use.
