Abstract

In her talk Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner, 
will discuss the tragic events of September 11 and how that has affected 
many people's perspective on privacy. She will discuss the need for balance 
between the demands of public safety and need to respect the privacy of 
rights of citizens. The talk will also discuss the implications of recent 
anti-terrorism legislation in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere. The 
presentation will define "privacy", discuss the basis of privacy, which is 
fair information practices, and illustrate where these practices have been 
codified into law around the world. The presentation will then discuss the 
hype and reality of e-commerce and examine reasons why it has fallen short 
of expectations. The last section of the presentation examines the role 
that technology can play in protecting privacy.
