Abstract
As of January 1, 2004, after a three-year phase-in period, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) came fully into force. Although considerable uncertainty currently prevails due to unanticipated events such as the resignation and replacement of Commissioner George Radwanski and the late constitutional challenge by Quebec, there is now sufficient experience with the legislation to begin to assess how the PIPEDA is working. It is also a timely juncture to do so with the extension of the legislation to the provincially regulated private sector.
