Submission on Bill C-51: Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security

BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association (FIPA), Submission on Bill C-51: Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, March 30, 2015

FIPA is a non-partisan, non-profit society that was established in 1991 to promote and defend freedom of information and privacy rights in Canada. Our goal is to empower citizens by increasing their access to information and their control over their own personal information. We serve a wide variety of individuals and organizations through programs of public education, public assistance, research, and law reform.

While our work focuses primarily on access and information rights in British Columbia, we have also played an active role in federal sphere, including in relation to the Personal Information Protection and Protection of Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) last month, and also on the issues related to lawful access going back to 2002.

We will keep our points brief, as many of the serious concerns about this bill have already been eloquently expressed by a number of individuals and organizations.

We hope you will look carefully at all the submissions, and hopefully recommend that this unjustified and unjustifiable piece of legislation be withdrawn.
