Ottawa’s new surveillance pricing rules not likely to take effect before 2028
Solomon will direct the new regulator to define surveillance pricing, and Canadians will be able to file complaints under the guidance.
Under the plan outlined by Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon, new surveillance pricing rules are unlikely to be in place until 2028.
Government officials expect it will take 18 months to establish the new online safety and privacy regulator required to enforce these privacy measures.
Solomon stated the federal government wants to be "super careful," ensuring new rules do not negatively affect reward points collected by Canadians.
Canadians will be able to file complaints based on guidance that Solomon will direct the new online safety and privacy regulator to issue.
On Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Solomon outlined the federal government's careful approach to the upcoming privacy framework on Monday, June 15, 2026.
