[co-author: Tawanna Lee] On November 17, 2020, the Canadian Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry introduced Bill C-11, the Digital Charter Implementation Act, which proposes a new privacy law called the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA). The CPPA would overhaul Canadian privacy law and heighten the privacy obligations for businesses, including U.S.-based business, that are engaged in commercial activity in Canada and collect, use, or disclose the personal information of individuals in Canada. Canadian government officials estimate 18 months for the CPPA to make its way through committee and become law. While there may be changes to the proposed legislation as it works its way through committee, businesses with Canadian-based customers will need to carefully assess their privacy compliance programs to account for proposed changes in the law.
