Just under 3 weeks until our friend Stewart Dresner arrives in Toronto for the International Privacy Officers Network (IPON) meeting on October 17.
With a number of privacy related news items coming onto the front pages, I thought readers should consider attending his special one day workshop to address issues associated with interaction of Canada’s privacy, employment and human rights laws. The workshop will give you an opportunity to hear directly from both federal and provincial privacy and employment regulators.
Speakers include Heather Black, Assistant Privacy Commissioner of Canada; Frank Work, Information and Privacy Commissioner for the Province of Alberta; Leonard Marvy, Solicitor, Ontario Labour Relations Board; Nadine Côté and Kate Wilson, Associates, Torys LLP, Toronto; and Eugene Oscapella, Consultant, Privacy Laws & Business.
Subjects to be covered will include the relationship between Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws and their enforcement; outsourcing and employment issues, including monitoring of employees’ use of e-mail and the Internet; and drug testing, and privacy of employee information in the context of mergers and acquisitions. The final session of the day will help you contribute to a collective Privacy Laws & Business recommendation to the federal legislature’s review of the private sector privacy law, or enable you to make your own recommendations.
For information, contact Stewart Dresner by email or call him at Privacy Laws & Business in the UK (011+44 20 8423 1300). The session will be held at the Torys offices in downtown Toronto.
