Industry committee  I personally don't think that consent should be something that we can be fatigued of. I think that consent is an ongoing process and something where, regardless of a service, the more informed you are at the outset before using it.... I recognize that there are challenges in place or that there are hurdles to getting people to actually meaningfully engage with very boring, very stuffy privacy policies.

Industry committee  At present, my gripe would be with the lack of extension of the fundamental right to privacy to AIDA. I'd say that is really the biggest weak spot with regard to this. We commend the minister for including that in his proposed amendment. As for the language, I'd need to take a moment to review that, but I'd say that perhaps the most concerning piece is the fact that it doesn't essentially trickle down from the CPPA to AIDA.

Industry committee  Good afternoon. Thank you for inviting us to appear before you today. I am the interim director of the privacy, technology and surveillance program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, an organization that has been standing up for the rights, civil liberties and fundamental freedoms of people in Canada since 1964.
