Privacy Commissioner not consulted over controversial online harms bill

National Post: “The failure to even consult the Privacy Commissioner of Canada re-confirms that this online harms consultation may rank as the worst public consultation since the Liberals took office. To hold a consultation in the middle of an election, keep the results of the consultation secret, and fail to even consult the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is disqualifying,” Geist said. “The proposal has rightly attracted criticism from across the political spectrum and from groups around the world. A restart is essential.”
