Andre — After public outcry and a pending investigation by the federal Privacy Commissioner, Statistics Canada has announced it will delay plans to obtain the banking and transaction data of 500,000 randomly selected Canadians. Depending on the results of the Privacy Commissioner’s investigation, StatCan could still carry out the the project. Your support is more important than ever to keep the pressure on. If you believe that your personal data shouldn’t be released without your consent, add your name.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending a decision by Statistics Canada to compel banks and financial institutions to release the personal transaction data of 500,000 people without their consent. But we can bet they wont stop there.
