Media Advisory - CJF and CIPPIC host half-day symposium exploring the "right to be forgotten"


Speakers include Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien, Google's Peter Fleischer and privacy experts David Fraser and Michael Geist

TORONTO, March 20, 2018 /CNW/ - With the so-called right to be forgotten coming to Canada, The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF), in partnership with the University of Ottawa's Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), has gathered the country's top privacy experts for a half-day symposium exploring a number of topical issues related to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. The afternoon session takes place on April 4 at The Globe and Mail Centre in Toronto.

Daniel Therrien, Privacy Commissioner of Canada, is among the speakers featured at the April 4 half-day symposium in Toronto exploring the right to be forgotten presented by The Canadian Journalism Foundation, in partnership with CIPPIC. (CNW Group/Canadian Journalism Foundation)

Regarding the controversial right to be forgotten, The Office of the Privacy Commissioner recently released a draft policy claiming the right to remove certain search engine results already exists within current legislation. As a result, do Canadians need a version of a European law specifically codifying this right? Or are the trade-offs for Charter-protected access to information too great?

The symposium "Striking the Balance: Privacy and Freedom of Expression in a Digital Age" will explore the intersection of reputation and freedom of expression featuring privacy experts, the tech industry and journalism leaders as they explore the implications for Canada.

Sessions:

How Canada thinks about Digital Privacy
Amanda Maltby, Chair of Privacy and Data Advisory Committee, Canadian Marketing Association, and General Manager, Compliance and Chief Privacy Officer, Canada Post

Policy and Privacy in the Digital World
Daniel Therrien, Privacy Commissioner of Canada

Privacy and the Charter
