Notre mise à jour annuelle des nouvelles internationales est un événement incontournable. Les spécialistes fournissent des conseils essentiels aux organisations canadiennes opérant à l’international. Cette année, le groupe d’experts discutera de l’Europe, des États-Unis et de l’Asie. Le projet de loi C-27 du Canada s’est inspiré des développements en Europe et de la façon dont Singapour traite les intérêts commerciaux légitimes. La proximité du Canada avec les États-Unis signifie que les programmes de conformité en matière de protection de la vie privée doivent souvent fonctionner de pair avec notre plus grand partenaire commercial. Ne manquez pas de suivre cette séance pour vous tenir au courant des plus récentes évolutions sur le plan international.

Access to Information isn’t only a public sector issue. Private sector organizations are often in public-private partnerships or service provider relationships with public sector entities. Access to information laws may be used to understand responses to government consultations to inform journalists, lobbyists and civil society. Competitors may seek access to commercial agreements for business intelligence. Individuals may seek information as a prelude to asserting legal rights. Our moderator and speakers will review topical issues that every lawyer needs to know. Whether you are a seasoned access to information lawyer or just starting out, this session will provide a timely update on key issues and trends.

In both the public and private sector, privacy assessments of some sort are taking on an increasing importance and morphing to cover more and more, from data analytics and bias to cross border transfers and legal framework assessments. This session will start by outlining the current and emerging legislative requirements and regulatory expectations for conducting privacy assessments in the public and private sector. Then it will explore experience conducting and reviewing PIAs, and consider very practical approaches to privacy assessments and the positive impact they can have on enabling data processing while mitigating privacy risk.

Bill C-27 represents the federal government’s second attempt to replace PIPEDA after Bill C-11 died on the order paper in August 2021. While similar in many respects to Bill C-11, Bill C-27  introduces some important new changes. This panel will discuss how Bill C-27 proposes to change the privacy landscape in Canada for both individuals and organizations, how these changes are likely to impact organizations’ privacy compliance programs, including with respect to the interoperability of multiple privacy laws in Canada and beyond, and how the new enforcement regime can be expected to play out in practice.

Ownership. Control. Access. Possession. These principles, more commonly known as OCAP, assert that First Nations have control over data collection processes, and that they own and control how information about them can be used. Join speakers from the First Nations Information Governance Centre to learn about OCAP as a tool to support information governance and help achieve First Nations data sovereignty. Gain an understanding of how these essential concepts interact with federal, provincial and territorial legislation, including privacy laws, as well as impact research about First Nations and Indigenous peoples.
