Bill Detail
An Act to enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and to make amendments to other Acts
This enactment enacts the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act to govern the protection of personal information of individuals while taking into account the need of organizations to collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. Consequently, it repeals Part 1 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and changes the short title of that Act to the Electronic Documents Act. Finally, it also makes amendments to other Acts.
Bill C-36 proposes to create the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, which will govern how organizations handle the personal information of individuals during commercial activities. This new Act will replace Part 1 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), renaming PIPEDA to the Electronic Documents Act.
