Bill C-36 and the PPCDA: Canada Rewrites Its Privacy Law for the Third Time, with AI Data Governance Packed into a Consumer Protection Framework

The Canadian federal government has introduced the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA) as Bill C-36, intended to replace PIPEDA, upgrading privacy enforcement from “advisory compliance” to binding orders, fines of up to 3%–5% of global revenue, and a private right of action for consumers, while addressing automated decision-making through transparency obligations rather than standalone AI legislation. This is a restructuring of the regulatory architecture, not merely an update of statutory provisions.
