canadian privacy law









































canadian privacy law is derived from the common law, statutes of the parliament of canada and the various provincial legislatures, and the "canadian charter of rights and freedoms". perhaps ironically, canada's legal conceptualization of privacy, along with most modern legal western conceptions of privacy, can be traced back to warren and brandeis’s “the right to privacy” published in the "harvard law review" in 1890, holvast states “almost all authors on privacy start the discussion with the famous article "the right to privacy" of samuel warren and louis brandeis”.

the memorandum claims that the amendment of the definition of ‘enforcement agency’ to clearly circumscribe the agencies who may access telecommunications data effectively ensures access is limited to those agencies that have a clear and scrutinised need for access to telecommunications data in the performance of their functions. furthermore, in order to reinforce the privacy protections associated with a user's telecommunications data contained within the tia act, schedule 2 introduces limitations upon the types of agencies permitted to authorise the disclosure of telecommunications data for an agency's investigation. in this respect, the act increases the threshold requirement in s 180f, by requiring that the authorising officer be ‘satisfied on reasonable grounds’ that a particular disclosure or use of telecommunication data is proportionate to the intrusion into privacy it represents. according to the memorandum, this amendment bolsters privacy safeguards by ensuring agencies weigh the proportionality of the intrusion into privacy against the value of the evidence and the assistance to be provided to the investigation. agencies such as asio are also subject to strict privacy and proportionality obligations under the attorney-general's guidelines, made under s 8(1)(a) of the asio act, which requires, inter alia, that the means used for obtaining the information must be proportionate to the gravity of the threat posed and investigations and inquiries into individuals and groups should be undertaken with as little intrusion into personal privacy as possible. these amendments ensure any abrogation of the privacy right in article 17 is limited to the legitimate purpose articulated in the tia act.
