News Summary March 1st, 2025

Coming up in your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, March 1st. 

We start with the ongoing controversy in Nova Scotia, where a government bill is raising alarms over transparency and independent oversight. We’ll also break down the Ontario election results, including responses from political parties to FIPA’s election questionnaire. 

Across Canada, stories from the Local Journalism Initiative are highlighting how privacy and access to information shape regional issues. On the international front, we examine major legal and regulatory developments in the U.S., from Supreme Court rulings to policy shifts. 

Finally, we’ll wrap up with a look ahead to the 27th Annual Victoria International Privacy & Security Summit, where FIPA will be in attendance.
