Industry Canada Consultation on PIPEDA Implementation

Further to a Parliamentary Committee's review of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"), Industry Canada is seeking views on the implementation of a data breach notification provision, and on the concepts of "work product" and "lawful authority". Other issues on which public input is being sought include witness statements, consent by minors, investigative bodies and the extent to which elements contained in the health-related PIPEDA Awareness Raising Tools (PARTs) document may be set out in legislative form.  Comments are due by January 15th, 2008, and can be sent by email to PIPEDAconsultation@ic.gc.ca.
