The Liberals have not prioritized Bill C\u002D27, with the legislation only making it to second reading after nearly nine months.
Bill C-27 doesn’t directly make changes to the type of information companies are allowed to collect on Canadian adults. But Laurie Bouchard, spokesperson for Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne, said the bill includes requirements for obtaining consent.
McPhail pointed out the current law has the same rules around only using personal information in a way a reasonable person would deem appropriate. She said in an email “a program or app could be deemed to be using information for improper purposes and be unlawful.” McPhail noted Bill C-27 “also contains provisions that forbid requiring people to agree to have information about them collected beyond what is necessary to provide a product, which might apply to the TikTok case.”
“Following a review of TikTok, the Chief Information Officer of Canada determined that it presents an unacceptable level of risk to privacy and security,” Treasury Board president Mona Fortier said in a statement.Article content
