On November 2, 2023, ICLMG presented at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology (INDU) for their study of Bill C-27 alongside several other civil society groups: the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, OpenMedia, the Privacy and Access Council of Canada, and the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. The bill is meant to address privacy protections in the private sector and the regulation of artificial intelligence.
Bill C-27 contains several national security exemptions that are unacceptable and dangerous for our rights, and the proposed AI regulations in particular fail to address the human rights concerns around the technology overall.
Read more about our concerns here.

Since you’re here…… we have a small favour to ask. Here at ICLMG, we are working very hard to protect and promote human rights and civil liberties in the context of the so-called “war on terror” in Canada. We do not receive any financial support from any federal, provincial or municipal governments or political parties. You can become our patron on Patreon and get rewards in exchange for your support. You can give as little as $1/month (that’s only $12/year!) and you can unsubscribe at any time. Any donations will go a long way to support our work. |
