Privacy-related bills to die on the order paper if Canadian election called

ADVERTISEMENTS

With talk of an election heating up in Canada, I thought I'd provide a list of the government bills that will likely die on the order paper if the government is brought down or if the PM wanders over to speak with the Governor General about dissolving parliament:

C-29	An Act to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Safeguarding Canadians? Personal Information Act)	First Reading in the House of Commons (May 25, 2010)

C-50	An Act to amend the Criminal Code (interception of private communications and related warrants and orders) (Improving Access to Investigative Tools for Serious Crimes Act)	First Reading in the House of Commons (October 29, 2010)
C-51	An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Competition Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act (Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act)	First Reading in the House of Commons (November 1st, 2010)
C-52	An Act regulating telecommunications facilities to support investigations (Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act)	First Reading in the House of Commons (November 1st, 2010)

Bills C-50, C-51 and C-52 need some major work so I'm fine to see them go back into parliamentary purgatory, but the PIPEDA amendments (C-29) were pretty good and I'd hate to think we're back to the drawing board.
