Charmaine Borg MP introduces private members bill to add breach notification to the federal Privacy Act

Charmaine Borg, the NDP's digital issues critic and the most activist MP in the area of privacy has tabled Bill C-580 to update the federal Privacy Act to require breach notification and a mandatory 5-year review of the Act. More info here: LEGISinfo - Private Member’s Bill C-580 (41-2).

In the wake of so many privacy breaches by federal government departments, I can get onboard with this.
