Description
The United States Congress passed the USA Patriot Act soon after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It gives new investigative powers to law enforcement agencies in the US. Section 215 of the Act allows a special court to secretly issue an order requiring "the production of any tangible things" to the FBI. This can include an individual's personal information. Anyone served with such a secret order is prohibited from disclosing to anyone else that the order exists or has been complied with. When Canadian privacy commissioners met in May 2004 in Victoria, BC, a general consensus emerged that exchange of personal information across borders was becoming increasingly significant in the context of continental economic integration. The British Columbia Information and Privacy Commissioner released his advisory report on the privacy implications of the USA Patriot Act on October 29, 2004. More than 500 representations were received about this issue including the following submission from the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. **********
