In Committee from the Senate of Canada
Transport and Communications
Assistant Privacy Commissioner Chantal Bernier discusses the privacy issues arising from proposed changes to the Customs Act that are found in the budget implementation bill.

The amendments involve the collection, use and disclosure of potentially sensitive personal information about passengers arriving in Canada.
