Perhaps I can answer the question first.
This is something new in Bill 25. The provisions are first set out in the Election Act, meaning that Quebec's Election Act provides that provincial political parties and independent members must comply with the provisions set out in the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, unless there are specific provisions set out in the Election Act.
There are a few. For example, there's no obligation to destroy personal information. In addition, we don't have the right to have access to personal information and to request that it be corrected when it is held by political parties. As you can imagine, the commission would have preferred that to be the case, because one of the best ways to assure citizens that their rights are respected and to know what political parties or other entities have on them and what they do with that information is to promote the exercise of the right of access.
Essentially, most of the obligations applicable to businesses under the private sector Privacy Act apply, except the ones I mentioned. However, there's a limit to what political parties can use and communicate. The information has to be collected for electoral purposes.
