Canada’s federal private sector privacy reform has returned, and it is not merely Bill C-27 in revised form. On June 15, 2026, the federal government introduced Bill C-36, An Act to enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and to make amendments to other Acts, marking the latest attempt to modernize Canada’s private sector privacy framework following the failure of Bill C-27 to advance through Parliament before prorogation early last year.
