This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, October 11th.

It’s another big week on the privacy and access front.

We have important legislative updates—from Ottawa’s ongoing border bills to new reforms in New Brunswick and consumer protections in Quebec.

Across the provinces, the fallout continues over Ontario’s Greenbelt scandal, while privacy and surveillance make headlines from local hockey rinks to federal audits.

And finally, a brief look south of the border, where the Trump administration’s Justice Department is again under scrutiny—and the online safety of children faces renewed legal challenges.
