WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

 

Privacy has now become a major issue in Canada in both the public and private sectors.  Three provincial Privacy Commissioners in Canada will address the status and importance of privacy to organizations.  The relevance of privacy in Canadian life has been spurred on by the Protection of Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which covers the private sector in Canada. This law came into effect on January 1, 2001 and will be applicable to all jurisdictions in Canada as of January 1, 2004, either through laws passed in the provinces or under the federal legislation.   New technologies are emerging as enhancers of privacy and playing a significant role in how Canadians protect their privacy. How does this relate to current privacy law requirements in Canada and how can technology protect Canadians’ privacy?

 

The evolution of e-government programs in government has accentuated the importance of privacy even further.  The Treasury Board of Canada recently announced that Privacy Impact Assessments must be conducted for all e-government program implementations.  How will privacy play into all these developments? 

 

This one day seminar will have practical sessions on implementation procedures of both the federal Privacy Act and the private sector legislation.
