Last spring I was invited to testify and present with Dr. Avner Levin before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, House of Commons, in the context of their study conducted on the “Growing Problem of Identity Theft and its Economic Impact“.

I discussed why there are no real incentives for Canadian businesses to protect the personal information of their employees and customers. I also elaborated on the fact that we should have, in Canada, mandatory breach notification.
