  3. Committee of the Whole — Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 (continued)

    As has been discussed previously, input from the general public was gathered through the special committee process. For this clause, it addresses concerns raised by the broader public sector, and the OIPC was consulted.

  5. Committee of the Whole — Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 (continued)

  7. Committee of the Whole — Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 (continued)

  8. Committee of the Whole — Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 (continued)

    For the record, this does not apply to all privacy impact assessments broadly. It only applies to common or integrated programs or activities, CIPAs, being proposed by a ministry or ministries. Proactive oversight is not…

  9. Committee of the Whole — Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 (continued)
