Bill S-4, the digital privacy act, introduced earlier this year in the Senate, would amend the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act. It was introduced in April and is now before the House of Commons. The bill, which is perhaps better known for concerns some have about what it is attempting to address with respect to online privacy, also contains mandatory breach notification provisions.
