Canada’s federal privacy framework is undergoing its most substantial overhaul in over two decades. A new federal private-sector privacy statute is expected to be introduced in 2026, replacing key elements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) that has governed private-sector data handling since 2000. Separately, Bill C-8, the Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act, is establishing mandatory cybersecurity requirements for organizations operating critical infrastructure.
