Just as spring is full of rejuvenation and renewal, so is the work of your CBA Privacy and Access Law Section.
Planning is well underway for our CBA Access to Information and Privacy Law Symposium, and we are excited to offer two webinars later this year on the application of the European Union’s GDPR and other American privacy legislation on Canadian organizations, and on privacy and political parties. Please see below for more details.
The Section is also proactively considering broader issues for reform of the Privacy Act and working on a Solicitor-Client Privilege FAQ document to assist lawyers, regulators and individuals understand and properly apply solicitor-client privilege in the context of access to information requests.
Do you have an article or case note that you would like to share? Would you like to participate in our working groups? Be sure to check out how below to get involved with our activities.
On behalf of your Section Executive, we thank you for your continued support of our Section and look forward to the balance of the CBA year.
Sincerely,
Lorne Randa
Chair, CBA Privacy and Access Law Section
