Canadian PressWINNIPEG (CP) - Members of the Canadian Bar Association want the federal government to strengthen privacy laws and ensure that any collection of personal information for security reasons is 'subject to reasonable and attainable objectives.'
Delegates attending this year's annual meeting, which begins Saturday in Winnipeg, will debate two resolutions prepared by the association's privacy law and criminal justice sections. "
I expect a release will be soon posted here: http://www.cba.org/CBA/News/2004_Releases/default.asp
