Looking Ahead: The Canadian Privacy And AI Landscape Without Bill C-27

With the prorogation of Parliament last week, Bill C-27, including the new AI law and proposed privacy reforms it contained, "died". No new federal privacy or AI legislation is likely to pass anytime soon. However, privacy and AI standards—and therefore risks of non-compliance—continue to evolve. This bulletin surveys the privacy and AI landscape with Bill C-27 no longer on the horizon.

What you need to know

• While no new federal privacy or AI legislation is likely to pass this year, Canadian organizations should continue to monitor the constantly evolving privacy and AI landscape.
• Recent provincial reforms in Québec and elsewhere are likely to continue impacting organizations as this evolution informs industry standards, even for businesses with limited operations in those provinces.
