On January 15, 2024, the European Commission issued a report to the European Parliament and Council that Canada’s privacy law is “adequate” from a European point of view. Canada was among a number of countries reviewed in the report.

At least for Canada, this review has been long awaited and long anticipated. Some people have been saying that Canada is lagging behind when it comes to privacy protection, and needs substantial reform to keep up with the European “gold standard”. Well, that’s been proven to be untrue.
