Release: B.C. leads Canada in privacy protection

An earlier blog entry mentioned that BC is planning to strenthen their public sector privacy legislation to prevent access to British Columbians' data by foreign governments. (See the entry here.) The B.C. government's press release is available here: "B.C. LEADS CANADA IN PRIVACY PROTECTION". Also of interest is the BC Government's submission to the BC Privacy Commissioner's study on the impact of the USA Patriot Act on the privacy of Lotuslanders: http://www.gov.bc.ca/mser/down/submission.pdf
