Financial Crises And Regulation Questions
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada does not have a direct role in financial regulation. Its primary responsibility is to oversee and enforce compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which is a federal privacy law in Canada. The Office ensures that organizations handle personal information in a manner that respects individuals' privacy rights. While financial institutions are subject to PIPEDA, the Office's focus is on privacy protection rather than financial regulation.
