20251101 Access and Privacy Online
This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, November 1st.
We’ll lead with troubling implications for Canadians and who the nation’s intelligence agencies is working for. Reporting informed from access to information reveals that lobbying by the company formerly known as Trans Canada Pipelines has succeeded and gives them ongoing access to CSIS.
We’ll bring you a look at the stories from the local journalism initiative across the country. That includes two stories from the Conversation looking at the federal governments bail reform bill and the Canadian dynamics as we consider the impacts of artificial Intelligence in schools.
Our international stories include considerations for Canada from European regulators and border actions as people enter the United States.
We’ll end on a FIPA update as Bill C-4 moves through committee, and we get ready to attend the CBA privacy and access law symposium in Ottawa.
