Bill C-11, as mentioned, does not have a human rights approach to the privacy law in question. It would be very beneficial if the proposed CPPA had a human rights foundation because then the principle of accuracy that I just alluded to could be used to ensure that potential discrimination against populations in the use of facial recognition would be part of our remit to ensure that, under privacy principles, technology that would result in discrimination would be found contrary to privacy.
I'll say that some would argue that these issues should be addressed through human rights legislation. Certainly, that's a credible point. I would say that, in the virtual world as in the physical world, the fact that there is some overlap in the jurisdiction of regulators here, as between my office and the Canadian Human Rights Commission, is not a bad thing as long as the regulators speak to one another, are efficient and benefit from each other's expertise. Our model would be to have a human rights approach to privacy law.
