Initiated by Victoria Savage from Beachburg, Ontario
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Cyber attacks that breach personal data and information of individuals, including credit card numbers, address details, and Social Security Numbers affect millions of Canadians each year;
- Canadians who are impacted by data breaches are at higher risk for identity theft and identity fraud, which can impact the financial and health wellbeing of those affected; and
- Impacted Canadians are left with the full responsibility to mitigate the fallout of those data breaches on their own, including time-consuming and expensive notification procedures and identity theft monitoring, despite not being at fault for the data breaches.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to compel agencies and private companies in federally-regulated industries to provide mandatory identity theft prevention and mitigation services for at least one year to individuals impacted by data breaches.
