How will the Personal Information Protection And Electronic
Documents Act Affect my Practice?
Proposal
for a Privacy Audit
A great deal of confusion surrounds the application of the
Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
and the various provincial privacy laws. Most likely, these
laws will affect your organization and you will have had to
act by January 1, 2004.
Privacy
Law and Governance in the Non-Profit Sector
With so much written in the past couple of years and particularly
in the past few months, about new and impending privacy legislation,
I thought it important to clear up some misconceptions about
the various laws and their applicability to the non-profit
sector.

Strategic Approach to Successful Compliance Under the Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act –
Focus on Enforcement and Remedies
Many organizations, large, medium and small, may very well
be surprised, not only by their need to be ready for this

– Advocacy and Lobbying - A Recognized Need for Legal
Reform
This paper will review the findings of the Broadbent and the
Joint Tables Reports, will review the law of advocacy for
charities as established in the common law and by the Canada
Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA, formerly “Revenue
Canada”) and will look at Ontario’s Lobbyist Registration
Act, as well as examine some recent steps by the Canadian
Centre for Philanthropy and others to clarify an area of law
much in need of clarification, all with a view to understanding
the present state of affairs with respect to Canadian charitable
advocacy.
Anti
– Terrorist Laws
Bill C-16, the Charities Registration (Security of Information)
Act, could not appear to be a more timely piece of law-making.
The tragic events in New York City and in Washington, D.C.,
of September 11, 2001, have brought more attention to this
legislation.
Ethical
Breaches – Lessons for Canadian Charities
The purpose of this piece is to re-examine corporate governance
in the charitable context. What positive steps can charitable
boards and management take to ensure ethical actions are taken
by them? What is the state of the law specifically with respect
to the role of corporate auditors?

Significance and the Impact of the “Christian Brothers”
Case
This brief article proposes to examine the origin of these
issues, briefly analyze the law, suggest some ramifications
of the decision for charities and suggest some possible solutions.
