So much of the foreign interference discussion focusses on the public sector. In this article we look at how private employers may be affected by new regulations.
In May 2024, the federal government introduced comprehensive legislation focused on foreign interference in Canada. While much of the guidance on combatting foreign interference is targeted to the public sector, private sector responsibilities are also emerging. In our latest article in our Black Bag foreign interference series, we focus on the intersection between an organization’s employment obligations and compliance with evolving regulatory expectations to combat foreign interference. We also examine how emerging foreign interference responsibilities in the private sector can be balanced with employers’ obligations under human rights and privacy laws. https://bit.ly/45TUdT3 #foreigncompetition #foreigninterference #employment #regulatory Rebecca Wise | Molly Reynolds | Emily Panhuyzen
