Right now, Quebec and British Columbia are the leaders in the protection of personal information. They are the provinces that have updated their legislation most recently.
I don't think it is a question of emulating their models, but rather of bringing things up to date and ensuring that the political parties are at least at the same level as all other Canadian organizations.
I think the bare minimum would be to simply respect the ten fair information principles, which include consent and need, among others. Some changes to the political parties' platforms would also be needed. So it is just a question of updating things.
