The bill, dubbed the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA), was introduced to the House of Commons by Canada\u2019s minister of innovation and technology, Evan Solomon. Bill C-36 would replace Canada\u2019s private sector privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which was first introduced in 1998.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new bill will still need to pass first, second, and third reading, and receive royal assent, before becoming law.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a technical briefing hosted by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), senior government officials said the PPCDA would formally recognize the right to privacy as a fundamental right of Canadians and set a higher standard for how organizations deal with children\u2019s data. It would also establish a requirement for informed consent around data collection, the use of plain language explanations regarding how that data is handled, and the right to have that data deleted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: Elon Musk\u2019s X continues to violate Canadian privacy law with Grok deepfakes, watchdog finds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the biggest change comes in the way privacy is overseen in Canada. The PPCDA significantly narrows the mandate of Canada\u2019s privacy commissioner, Philippe Dufresne, bestowing authority to oversee privacy in the private-sector under the CDSC. The creation of that commission, which has not yet been established, was announced last week during the government\u2019s unveiling of the Safe Social Media Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael Geist, the University&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/with-update-to-canadas-privacy-laws-feds-are-building-a-super-regulator\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With update to Canada\u2019s privacy laws, feds are building a \u201csuper-regulator\u201d https:\/\/betakit.com\/with-update-to-canadas-privacy-laws-feds-are-building-a-super-regulator\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-15&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":273889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/jason-hafso-C2keINMOhIE-unsplash.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[175],"class_list":["post-273887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy","tag-pipeda"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273887"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273887"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273891,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273887\/revisions\/273891"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
