WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Privacy is now considered one of society's most important values. The Federal Privacy Act has been in operation for twenty-three years. During this time span no legislative changes have been made to the law. Arguments are being out forth by the Privacy Commissioner and privacy experts that, given the changing climate in society, especially with the evolution of new technologies and the ease with which people can steal other people's identities or their personal information, changes to the law are needed.

A recent polling survey indicated that the majority of Canadians are concerned about their personal privacy. Concerns have been expressed about how their personal information can get in the hands of people, organizations and governments in other countries because of the array of technologies that now make this possible. There are many issues evolving in society that are having direct impacts on the personal privacy of Canadians. Identity theft, abuses of individual’s personal information, security laws and new technologies, are just a few examples affecting privacy. Canadians expect their government to ensure their safety and the security of their personal information.

The conference will bring together a cross section of public officials and experts to assess the efficacy of the current Act and what is and is not needed in the way of reform. The Federal Privacy Commissioner has been invited as a keynote speaker.

The central theme of this conference will address to what extent these expectations are being met and, if not, what needs to be done to strengthen the Privacy Act.
