The federal government is set to introduce two bills in the final days of the current Parliamentary sitting, according to multiple outlets. One bill is aimed at privacy and is described as an update to Canada’s private-sector privacy law that has been long promised. The government has given notice that legislation will be brought forward, with reporting indicating it is expected to include changes to how private-sector organizations handle personal information.
The second bill focuses on clean drinking water for First Nations. Coverage says the measure is intended to ensure that First Nations communities have access to safe, clean drinking water. The bills are expected to be introduced as Parliament approaches adjournment, which can limit the time for early debate and committee review.
While outlets emphasize different aspects—privacy law modernization and water access for First Nations—the overall reporting aligns that Ottawa will table two major pieces of legislation before the sitting ends, as part of the Liberal government’s late-session agenda.
