To Do
Presenter: David Loukidelis, Information & Privacy Commissioner, BC

British Columbia in August of 1999. An independent officer of the Legislature,
he is responsible for enforcement of British Columbia's Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Act. He has issued well over 200 access rulings,
has conducted many privacy investigations, and frequently comments on
the access and privacy implications of proposed laws and policies. David
has law degrees from Osgoode Hall Law School and the University of Oxford,
as well as a Master of Arts degree in medieval studies from the University
of Edinburgh. He served as a law clerk to Madame Justice Bertha Wilson
of the Supreme Court of Canada. Outline: Private Sector Privacy Legislation
is coming to BC in January 2004. Bill 38 is in final review and if passed
will become law on January 1, 2004. The Information & Privacy Commissioner
for BC will oversee and enforce the new law. What will this mean to BC
businesses? How can we be prepared for this new legislation? What will
this mean to security professionals?
