Michael Geist’s top tech law issue for Canada for 2008 is:

Security Breach Reporting Rules Are Introduced. Scarcely a week went by last year without a report of a security breach that placed the personal data of thousands of Canadians at risk. Last spring, a House of Commons committee acknowledged that the country needs mandatory security breach disclosure legislation that would require organizations to advise Canadians when they have been victimized by a breach.  A public consultation on the issue concludes next week and new regulations will be introduced before the summer.
