Not Just Your Same Old Privacy Legislation: A Compliance Briefing for Privacy Officers on the New Canadian Consumer Privacy Protection Act
In June 2022, Bill C-27, or "An Act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (the Act) and, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts" (Bill C-27) was introduced by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and underwent First Reading, as a replacement to the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). (This is in fact the second effort by the federal government to enact this replacement to PIPEDA. In 2021, Bill C-11 (An Act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act and the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts) — the mooted replacement for PIPEDA — passed Third Reading of the legislative process, but Canada then had a federal election, and as a result Bill C-11 died prior to being enacted.) Prior to the introduction of the Act, there were concerns that it would effectively be a "'Made in Canada' GDPR". However, while the Act has taken the lead from the EU General Data Protection Regulation in introducing financially enormous penalties, as well as the right of data portability and the right to be forgotten, enough of the original PIPEDA remains such that the Act is now effectively a PIPEDA/GDPR hybrid.
This article, which reviews the Act (other than the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, which — as it is completely new to the Canadian legislative landscape — will require its own future article) first seeks to identify the delta between the Act and PIPEDA in order to allow privacy officers of organizations that are already PIPEDA compliant to identify the net new compliance requirements under the Act and second, to highlight the provisions of the Act which, if breached, could lead to the imposition of significant fines, and use those as a guide as to which "hot button" features of an organization's privacy compliance program will likely be the focus of enforcement, and as such should therefore be revisited by privacy officers.
