Last November, then Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains introduced Bill C-11, long overdue privacy reform. The bill appeared to be a top government priority, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasizing that the new law would give Canadians more control over how companies handle their personal information.

Yet months after the bill was introduced, it is seemingly going nowhere. The bill has been granted one day of discussion thus far in the House of Commons and that was back on November 24th when Bains opened second reading. Since then, Bains has announced that he will not be running for re-election and François-Philippe Champagne has replaced him as the ISED minister. The supplemental mandate letter to Champagne released in January does not mention privacy or the bill as a priority.
