Media advisory: Privacy Commissioner of Canada to appear before Senate Committee to discuss Bill C-25

Privacy Commissioner of Canada · · Canada · Privacy Law

Canada's Privacy Commissioner is scheduled to appear before a Senate Committee to discuss Bill C-25, the proposed federal privacy legislation. The appearance signals that the bill is advancing through Parliament and facing scrutiny at the Senate level.

Why this matters: Bill C-25 would reshape how personal data is collected, used, and protected across Canada. When the Privacy Commissioner testifies before a Senate committee, it is one of the last meaningful checkpoints before a law is locked in. Senate hearings can still change things. If you care about what companies can do with your data under Canadian law, this is the moment to pay attention to what the Commissioner actually says and whether senators push back hard enough.
