Crafting an Intersectional Response to Bill C-27 for the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology

Background: In the fall of 2023, a group of scholars prepared a brief to respond intersectionally to Bill C-27 after its second reading and study by the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology. Updates to Canada’s private sector privacy law and regulation of artificial intelligence were important elements proposed in Bill C-27. Analysis: This article reflects upon five significant issues related to our brief and intersectionality. Conclusion and implications: Our reflections contribute to a greater understanding of the critical/administrative dichotomy in communications scholarship, and to knowledge about how to apply an intersectional approach to privacy and AI policy in Canada.
