Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When Minister Champagne was here, I asked him about Quebec's data protection law. In his letter, he mentions that a few provinces have privacy legislation that is substantially similar to PIPEDA, meaning that, in many circumstances, the provincial law applies instead of the federal law. The paragraph basically says that that will continue.
In the specific case of Quebec, it is anticipated that the designation of its provincial privacy regime as “substantially similar” will continue and that its law would apply instead of the consumer privacy protection act, or CPPA. I think that addresses the first issue related to law 25, which could indeed apply.
Currently, is a transition period anticipated? That's new information that came out the day after the minister appeared before the committee. Until Bill C‑27 is passed, will Quebec companies have some sort of transition period?
