OPC issues supplementary discussion document for its consultation on transborder dataflows

On April 9, 2019, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) launched a consultation on transborder data flows under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Stakeholders have indicated that it would be useful to provide more detailed information with respect to the reasons that have led us to revisit our policy position on this issue. In order to support a meaningful consultation, we have developed this supplementary discussion document to explain the reasons for the change. We have also set out some additional questions to which we would appreciate responses.
