Bill C-27, the Digital Charter Implementation Act, was introduced in the Canadian House of Commons on June 16, 2022, passed first and second readings, and is currently before the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.  If it becomes law, Bill C-27 will apply to every organization across Canada (federally or provincially regulated) with respect to personal information the organization collects, uses, or discloses in the course of commercial activity.[1] Bill C-27 will also apply to a federally regulated organization with respect to personal information about an employee or job applicant.
