“This bill connects health data systems while keeping our privacy rules in place. It only shares information when the law already allows it.”
“Mr. Speaker, this is really all about supporting data sovereignty and interconnectivity at the same time that we support existing privacy protection. Authorized access remains governed by applicable privacy legislation. The bill is really about making information available when it is legally permitted to be shared and not expanding access beyond existing privacy rules. It is really helping to get that balance right, which is really all about data sovereignty.”
