BLG’s translation of Commission d’accès à l’information (CAI) Québec-specific guides

Québec’s CAI routinely publishes valuable, detailed guidance on privacy-related compliance requirements at the provincial level. In accordance with the Charter of the French Language amended by Bill 96 in 2022, these guides are only available in French, but BLG Privacy lawyers have translated some of the most comprehensive CAI publications of recent years to help organizations based outside of Québec to comply.

In the event of a discrepancy between the original French version and one of our unofficial translations to English, note that the French version shall take precedence. Sources are always listed.
