For the past many months I’ve had the joy of working with, and learning from, a truly terrific set of colleagues. One of the files we’ve handled has been around law reform in Ontario and specifically Bill 194, the Strengthening Cyber Security and Building Trust in the Public Sector Act.
Our organization’s submission focuses on ways to further improve the legislation by way of offering 28 recommendations that apply to Schedule 1 (concerning cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and technologies affecting individuals under the age of 18) and Schedule 2 (amendments to FIPPA). Broadly, our recommendations concern the levels of accountability, transparency, and oversight that are needed in a rapidly changing world.
