e-1920 (Privacy and data protection)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
- The government plans to allow Statistics Canada to gather transactional level personal banking information of 500,000 Canadians without their knowledge or consent;
- Canadians’ personal financial and banking information belongs to them, not to the government;
- Canadians have a right to privacy and to know and consent to when their financial and banking information is being accessed and for what purpose;
- Media reports highlight that this banking information is being collected for the purposes of developing “a new institutional personal information bank”; and
- This is a gross intrusion into Canadians’ personal and private lives.
