Brief: Sign FIPA's petition to protect your privacy rights

Mike Larsen of the BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association explains how Part 4 of Bill C-4 would exempt federal political parties from federal and provincial privacy laws and leave Canadians without a legal right to access or control their personal information held by parties. FIPA’s petition calls on the House of Commons to oppose or repeal any changes to law that have the effect of exempting political parties from privacy obligations. It also calls on the House of Commons to impose meaningful and enforceable privacy rules that will govern the activities of federal political parties.   We urge listeners to sign Petition E-7237 on the House of Commons website, which calls for enforceable privacy rules for political parties. The petition is open for signatures, and we encourage you to sign and share it.  E-7237 Petition to the House of Commons: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7237  FIPA Bill C-4  Bill C-4 Dashboard: https://fipa.bc.ca/fipa-bill-c-4-part-4-dashboard/   Bill C-4 Backgrounder: https://fipa.bc.ca/bill-c-4-background/  FIPA E-petition page: https://fipa.bc.ca/upcoming-hoc-e-petition    House of Commons E-Petition: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7237    Donate to Help Us Reach More Canadians: https://fipa.bc.ca/pr/donate-c4/
