Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Industry.
Last Tuesday, the Minister of Industry said Bill C-54 “would not apply to Quebec at all”. On Wednesday, he changed his mind and said the opposite, when he stated that his bill would apply, in Quebec, to federally regulated businesses, such as banks and telecommunications, broadcasting and transport companies.
Does the minister admit that the act will also apply to Quebec businesses that transfer personal information to other provinces?
