Bill C-6, more recently known as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act... more Bill C-6, more recently known as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, is promoted by the Canadian government as privacy legislation to protect Canadians' personal information. This paper explores that characterization and concludes that it is inaccurate and misleading. The problems that motivated a response by Parliament are the proliferation and commercial importance of personal information, concerns Canadians have about its uncontrolled use by the private sector and the inadequacy of existing law to address those concerns. However, the Act has not responded to these problems. There are several reasons for this, primarily the disproportionate and antidemocratic importance of business interests in the promulgation of the legislation and the characterization of privacy in market terms rather than in the language of human rights and long-term policy objectives. The Act's failure to achieve its substantive goals is demonstrated by comparing it with other models of privacy protection, such as the Privacy Charter proposed by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Rights, equivalent legislation in Quebec and the Australian Privacy Charter. Ultimately, the paper proposes solutions that would be more responsive to citizens' privacy concerns. * L.L.B. Dalhousie Law School.

This narrowness leads to poor legal development, of which the modern medical exception from patentability is one example. Judges have difficulty interpreting it, patentees do not understand its purpose and it does not protect the important medical technologies to which the public would like access. This thesis applies a legal pluralist analysis to examine the emergence of the medical methods exception in order to understand why it was created and legislated. It starts by examining the origins of the exception in the caselaw, and the informal, concurrent norm established by the emerging medical profession in the early 20th century. It then proceeds to examine why the medical profession might have sought and enforced a norm prohibiting its members from patenting, and concludes that this arose from th...

Interviews conducted by the author with Canadian independent music labels suggest that the law and the norms governing labels’ operations are more diverse and include direct subsidies, or grants, from government and the private sector. These grants perform many of the functions expected from copyright. This study concludes that copyright law is often exotic, peripheral, and even irrelevant to those involved in the spheres of remunerative Canadian sound production considered here. This finding suggests a renewed focus on a Canadian narrative of copyright law that puts it in its place alongside other instruments regulating independent music production. Alors que l’on demande au régime de droits d’auteur d’exécuter un rôle accru de gouvernance de l’activité créatrice, l’on s’inquiète notamment de son orientation excessive sur les simples valeurs...

This paper discusses how international financial institutions (IFIs) are not themselves subject to a broadly-conceived ROL and more specifically are exempt from liability to third parties for harms they cause. forms of activism attempt to make these institutions accountable to a broadly-conceived ROL which expose basic problems and limitations of accountabilities in transnational and international law. This study arose out of work completed for a non-government organization working with a coalition of activists in Central America protesting IFI-led development of (failed) hydro-electric dam mega-projects.

DEVELOPMENT'S BAD MEDICINE I nternational financial institutions (IFIs), and their treatment at law, epitomise current biases in the law-and-development paradigm. IFIs promote market based development by influencing macroeconomic policy, financial sector policy and privatisation. Lately, governance initiatives and the Rule of Law (ROL) have been promoted as key preconditions to attaining development goals. 1 This paper examines how IFIs themselves are not subject to the (broadly-conceived) ROL, and specifically, to liability vis-à-vis third party victims of IFI negligence. Activism, and occasionally litigation, attempting to make these institutions 'accountable' to the ROL are exposing basic problems and limitations of international law and IFI responsibility in an era of globalisation and the weak state. Our conclusions are that the lack of legal liability is an important aspect of the governance agenda and development policies of IFIs. This study arose out of work w...

The Committee has been asked to inquire into, consider and report to Parliament on: Provisions which discriminate, or may lead to discrimination, against any person as provided in s.207 of the EOA. In particular, the Committee is requested to: 1) identify provisions in Victorian Acts and enactments that operate to discriminate, or may lead to discrimination, against any person; 2) consider policy considerations for the retention, amendment or repeal of the provisions; and 3) make recommendations as to whether the provisions should be retained, amended or repealed. In considering this reference the Committee should note the objectives of the EOA which include: 1) to promote recognition and acceptance of everyone's right to equality; and 2) to eliminate, as far as possible, discrimination against people by prohibiting discrimination on the basis of various attributes. The review arises under s.207 of the EOA, which imposes an obligation on the Attorney-General as the Minister responsible for its administration. Section 207 provides-The Minister must cause a review of all Acts and enactments (other than municipal council bylaws or local laws) to be undertaken for the purpose of identifying provisions which discriminate, or may lead to discrimination, against any person.

This focused history of Collip's development of Emmenin considers how Collip used (and avoided) the legal tools of intellectual property to his advantage, given his complicated place as a scientist/business person/academic/physician inventor in the inter-war era. Collip's story is significant as a case study as it lends nuance to the picture of the Canadian inventor, shows the daring foresight of early Canadian commercialization business models, and explores the influences that eventually led to the development of university technology transfer offices in Canada. It also highlights germinal moments in the negotiation of standardized agreements and university–industry partnerships. Ultimately, this paper contributes to the task of filling out the history of the development of legal norms regarding intellectual property in Canada by exploring sources outside of case law and legislation to tell a rich story of invention, ownership, and profit.

Technical complexity is one thing; legal and social complexities are another. Although less tangible, the latter can be as difficult to isolate, analyze, and manage as engineering technologies. This essay suggests that as much attention should be paid to this "soft" normative infrastructure of e-science as to its "hard" physical counterpart. Otherwise, the promised benefits of Grid collaborations may not be fully realized. The essay illustrates this view through analysis of a case study 1 of the electronic Diagnostic Mammography National Database (eDiaMoND) pilot project, a £4.25 million interdisciplinary U.K. collaboration aimed at creating a database of digital mammography images using Grid technology. 2

The search for biological resources has primarily focused on acquiring these resources from indigenous communities and countries of the South. However, the means by which these biological resources are obtained is exploitative and often tantamount to theft (or, as it is commonly known, biopiracy). As a result of communities attempting to prevent this theft and corporations seeking more international legitimacy for their "bioprospecting", "bioprospecting contracts" are more frequently being concluded between governments and corporations. Through the prism of current events in Iceland, I will demonstrate that bioprospecting contracts resolve little; they merely rename and reformulate an old crime into a new shape of exploitation which may be even more insidious than earlier forms of biopiracy. The events in Iceland will illustrate the problem...
