This comparative table highlights similarities and differences
between private sector privacy laws in Canada and the General
Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in Europe. In
the wake of the recent amendments tabled by the Canadian
government in Bill C-27, the chart includes a comparison of the
current Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and the proposed
Consumer Privacy Protection Act ("CPPA") in Bill
C-27. The table also highlights the changes passed into law in
Quebec in Bill 64, some of which will come into force on September
22, 2022 (learn more at "Resource Center - Bill 64"). The table is
intended as a useful tool for privacy professionals dealing with
Canadian privacy laws and the GDPR.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
