This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, June 28th.

We have some updates on Bill C-2 and Bill C-4 as the House of Commons rises for the summer.

We’ll have our regular scan across the country with a surprising group of stories in Alberta echoing influences from south of the border—including moves by the provincial government to ban books and access to information showing how one elected official says one thing publicly while working for corporate interests behind the scenes.

And we'll end with two international stories, including the Pope’s views on Artificial Intelligence—and the steps one country is taking to fight crime with weaponized police drones.
