Media advisory: Privacy Commissioner of Canada to appear before Parliamentary Committee on Bill C-22

Privacy Commissioner of Canada · · Canada · Privacy Law

Canada's Privacy Commissioner is scheduled to appear before a Parliamentary Committee to give testimony on Bill C-22. The appearance signals that federal privacy oversight is now formally part of the legislative review process for this bill.

Why this matters: When the Privacy Commissioner shows up to Parliament, it usually means the bill touches something worth watching. Bill C-22 is going through the kind of scrutiny that shapes how Canadians' data gets protected — or does not. What the Commissioner says on the record can push lawmakers to strengthen protections or expose where the draft falls short. These hearings are where privacy rules get made. They matter more than the press releases that follow.
