As well as giving a thorough account of the privacy risks facing Canadians today, the report calls on the federal government to update Canada’s legislative, legal, and regulatory framework to better protect Canadians’ privacy. Daniel Therrien, The Privacy Commissioner of Canada, stopped by the podcast to discuss the report’s recommendations.
