Information & Ethics committee  I agree with what was said.

Information & Ethics committee  I would be pleased to.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, it's the same concept. It's just that, in my doctorate dissertation, I have just defended that we should instead speak of “independence” rather than “neutrality” because the word “neutrality” has two meanings.

Information & Ethics committee  I think that on this point, aside from writing, this is currently the case. There are no rules specific to paper or the Internet. You are going to propose amendments to the bill and Parliament will pass it. In the time it'll take for the legislation to come into force, technolog

Information & Ethics committee  This comes back to the idea of reputation management. For many people, when they propose a right to be forgotten, they want the right to be able to erase information that concerns them. For example, it can be disturbing press articles that talk about some things they have done in

Information & Ethics committee  I think my way out would be to say that I do not think it would be PIPEDA that would deal with that, but that it's more about private relationships. Some provinces have established remedies. We have the Criminal Code, which provides for a criminal remedy. However, if it was put o

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, in that case, but in the case of someone who is going to get a photograph and put it elsewhere, then I don't think that person is subject to PIPEDA anymore. There is more talk about the right to the image and civil liability, which is generally a matter of provincial jurisdi

Information & Ethics committee  That is an excellent question. I must admit that I haven't thought about it.

Information & Ethics committee  It would be a pleasure. Certainly the problem at the moment is that recent decisions of the new government have made this is an issue for Canadians. I can look at how this would affect an adequacy decision.

Information & Ethics committee  In reality, it's only a small doctrinal debate. It means practically the same thing. The idea that the legislation is based on principles is meant to allow greater flexibility, to set limits and, as Professor Scassa said earlier, to allow small and large companies, the mobile an

Information & Ethics committee  I would say yes, even though I don't have the regulations or the old directive in front of me. The suite of sections includes those on collection, communication and so on. It is also a question of this famous right to deletion—and not to be forgotten—which is something that may n

Information & Ethics committee  It is simply a matter of avoiding possible attacks by the private sector, which could claim that the commissioner would leave his role as an ombudsman to become a “sanctioner”. To increase his budget and his powers, he would apply greater sanctions.

Information & Ethics committee  Exactly. His budget would be totally independent of the sanctions he would impose or not, and it would come back to the taxpayers, therefore to Canadians.

Information & Ethics committee  I don’t think that we have a magic solution in the case of consent. Of course, it must remain at the base, but people also have to know what they are consenting to. There was a problem on the consumers' side and we know that the provinces have legislated in the matter. Perhaps i

Information & Ethics committee  I would say the same. American legislation already exists but there is a problem with enforcing it. It does not work. We know full well that, normally, under the age of 13, additional rules apply. Children under 13 are on all social networks in America, as in the rest of the worl
