The CRA vs. Canadian men

A wonderful article about the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Privacy Act and the infinite stupidity of the bureaucrats enforcing acts written by inept people who do not understand or care about the consequences of the laws they create.
The following appeared on Michael Geist’s Blog:
The government’s response to the PIPEDA review included a promise to consult on possible reforms to the law, including the creation of a mandatory data breach notification requirement. On Friday, Industry Canada published the promised consultation in the Canada Gazette, asking Canadians for comments on the data breach requirement along with a series of smaller changes to Canada’s national privacy law. For those that don’t have PIPEDA consultation fatigue - this is effectively the third consultation on these issues in the past 18 months (the Privacy Commissioner consultation, the Ethics Committee hearings, and now the Industry Canada consultation) - the deadline for responses is January 15, 2008.
