Just on that point, in May 2013 the former Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart set out her office's position on reform in a position paper entitled, “The Case For Reforming the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act”.
She outlined four recommendations for reform, wherein she called for the following: one, stronger enforcement powers; two, mandatory notifications of breaches of personal information; three, increased transparency on the use of exceptions under PIPEDA allowing law enforcement agencies and government institutions to obtain personal information without consent or judicial warrant; and finally four, the introduction of enforceable agreements to help organizations improve their privacy practices following an investigation or audit.
Do you share these recommendations for reform?
