In particular, this Application seeks Commission guidance on privacy rules for potential government requests to TSPs to provide subscriber information associated with the use of COVID Alert, ABTraceTogether and any potential future similar tracing technologies. This Application is PIAC’s second regarding pandemic contact-tracing, however, it is not a re-submission of the first Application but now is based on actual assessment of these deployed apps, now used by many Canadians.

The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) files this Application under the Telecommunications Act1 and pursuant to Part 1 the CRTC Rules of Practice and Procedure2 regarding digital contact tracing technologies, and in particular, the Government of Canada’s (“federal government”) pandemic contact-tracing application (“app”) for smartphone wireless devices and known and branded as “COVID Alert” (français: “Alerte COVID”) and the Government of the Province of Alberta’s app known as “ABTraceTogether” and related matters, namely, potential and actual actions by all major Canadian wireless service providers (“WSPs”) to identify Internet Protocol addresses (“IP addresses”) or mobile telephone numbers, by matching them with their subscriber data and potentially providing that matched subscriber information to the federal or any provincial government. 2. As the Commission is well aware, PIAC at an early stage of the pandemic (May 4, 2020), filed a Part 1 Application asking the Commission to inquire into the potential involvement of all Telecommunications Service Providers (“TSPs”) in pandemic app deployment. 3. On 17 August 2020, the Commission finally responded to PIAC’s initial application in a Letter Decision. The Commission found that the public interest was not best served by appointment of an Inquiry Officer or the issuance of a Notice of Consultation. It noted that: […] PIAC’s application, as filed, is broad in nature and does not identify a specific activity or action by TSPs in the development or implementation of contact tracing measures such that Commission intervention is warranted at this time. In addition, it does not demonstrate that existing privacy frameworks and protections are insufficient at this time to address the issues it has identified. 4. This new Part 1 Application is now brought, due to revelation of the details of, and the launch of, in particular, the “COVID Alert” app, so that we now are aware of its operation and flaws, and the roles of the TSPs in privacy violations. In short, this Application is specific in reciting the activities and actions of TSPs in contact tracing measures and further, lays bare the lack of existing protections under other existing privacy frameworks and their inability, in any meaningful manner, to control the creation and deployment of DCTTs. 1 S.C. 1993, c. 38. 2 SOR/2010-277, s. 22. Public Interest Advocacy Centre 9 September 2020 Part 1 Application Regarding “COVID Alert” App, “ABTraceTogether” App and Related Matters Page 4 of 46 5. We respectfully request that the Commission publicly post this new Application, which is in due and proper form, in accordance with its rules of procedure, before making any procedural or substantive rulings on our application. Should the Commission wish to combine our previous application with this new one, or that we formally withdraw the previous one, or considers the first Application dismissed, or that this one is somehow inappropriate, we signal that whatever the procedural approach, refusing to post this, our new application, is not acceptable. 6. Finally, we note that the Commission stated at the close of its Letter Decision of 17 August 2020, that it would be willing to reconsider the issue: Should the factual circumstances change or should indications arise that TSPs are participating – or contemplating participating – in contact tracing measures, the Commission may reconsider whether to inquire into these activities in order to determine what, if any, additional measures should be taken. As part of its monitoring efforts, the Commission will continue to communicate with the OPC. 7. We therefore submit that it is not appropriate to dismiss this new Application on the basis that it already has been considered, or that we are somehow abusing the Commission’s process. We reject those potential objections both on the basis of the above openness of the Commission to reconsider the issue and on the basis that we now have indeed information on TSP involvement in contact-tracing measures, as detailed below. 8. We also attach as Appendix 1, a detailed description of “Digital Contact Tracing Technology” (“DCTT”) in general and of several similar apps and systems, both those developed

  • Federal Politics
    REPORT FEDERAL POLITICS st DATE FebruaryNUMÉRO1 DE, 2020 PROJET METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY Web survey using computer-assisted Web interviewing (CAWI) technology. From January 29th to January 30th, 2020 1,501 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (Web panel in this case). However for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,501 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.53%, 19 times out of 20. The research results presented here are in full compliance with the CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards and Disclosure Requirements. 2 METHODOLOGY Notes on Reading this Report The numbers presented have been rounded up. However, the numbers before rounding were used to calculate the sums presented and might therefore not correspond to the manual addition of these numbers. In this report, data in bold red characters indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other respondents. Conversely, data in bold green characters indicate a significantly higher proportion that that of other respondents. A more detailed methodology is presented in the appendix.

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.
