The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) ramped up its fight for consumer privacy last week. The advocacy group first testified before a Parliamentary Committee on May 6, calling for a number of changes to the federal Privacy Act in order to better protect Canadians against state incursions on their privacy; and three days later it petitioned the Privacy Commissioner to investigate unnecessary data collection practices by Bell Sympatico.
