Marie Woolf
Summary
The Canadian government introduced a new privacy bill in the House of Commons that would require companies to take on new responsibilities to protect children's data, delete personal information upon request, and give a new federal regulator the power to combat surveillance pricing (where retailers charge different prices based on shopping habits). The bill aims to update Canada's privacy laws with stronger protections for consumers and children.
