Critics of the proposed changes say they undermine both the privacy of the user of a service and the ability of carriers to find and block access to data.
“They end up with people who are in their right mind putting up with the complexity of the system,” said legal analyst that has helped bring the changes to the public eye.
“They’re making it so that criminals can find the data and take it by the hand or by mail, where the law requires carriers to, for example, require them to establish a database blocking the data and the undeliverable.”
THE RED LINE
The public opinion research into the proposed changes, done by AT&T and the U.S.-based law firm Harris & Co., included a large number of people.
It included messages from more than 20,000 people to ask the giant network company to perform a massive audit of its IT systems across Canada.
The debate over privacy has intensified since an Equality Party call last month to end the company’s “zombie” network.
The NDP’s privacy critic, Peter Julian, acknowledged that a government could require carriers to have a database blocking of access to customers’ documents.
“The question is: what are the criteria for those criteria and can we guarantee that the privacy of our customers is protected?” Julian told CBC News.
“In reality, the Privacy Commissioner has to decide in a timely fashion whether to rule on a request from carriers to determine whether a policy under the Privacy Act applies.
“In that case the Commission would be required to determine a case-by-case basis for awarding reasonable costs to carriers.”
‘The question is: what are the criteria for those criteria and can we guarantee that the privacy of our customers is protected?'” Julian said in a statement
The initiative is a response to a desire in the past to reevaluate the privacy of Canada’s Internet and communications networks.
Conservative MP Olivia Chow, a member of the Commons committee on Internet privacy, said the government has to make sure customers are protected.
“It’s clear that there’s no way the federal government would allow VHP to do that, and the NDP wants to make it clear that that’s clearly not the case,” said Chow.
