Bill C-36 (Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act) introduced in the House of Commons (first reading)
The Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (Bill C-36) is introduced and receives first reading in the House of Commons, tabled by Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation. It would enact the PPCDA, amend PIPEDA, and establish a Digital Safety and Data Protection Commission of Canada. Framed as a cornerstone of the AI for All national strategy, it regulates automated decision-making systems and carries forward the privacy reforms of the former Bill C-27 without re-introducing AIDA.
Bill C-36 would enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA), amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and make related amendments to other Acts. It was tabled on 15 June 2026 by Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, and is the Carney government's successor to the private-sector privacy reforms that died with Bill C-27 (AIDA) on prorogation in January 2025.
