CPPA: The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.

An early assessment of our proposed new privacy law – Bill C-11

Our government addressed the long awaiting updates to PIPEDA in mid-November. The first read of the CPPA was through a filter of “being curious”. The next few reads we focussed on “Consent” and “strong enforcement” and it left us with more questions than answers. It is early in the process but with more than 5 years to decide what to include and what not to, I am more than a little troubled by what I see/read. I will walk you through some specific concerns that the Response Marketing Association will do our best to present to the ETHI Committee as they seek to move the Bill through the parliamentary system.
