Transferring personal information about Canadians across borders : implications of the USA PATRIOT Act : submission of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to the Office of the Information...: IP54-100/2004E-PDF

"We live in a virtual world where the global transmission of information is becoming almost seamless. The operations of governments and corporations are profoundly transformed by the emergence of e-government and e-commerce. Electronic collection, use, sharing and storage of personal information is at the hub of this transformation which modifies not only the way organizations carry out their daily business but also, more fundamentally, the manner by which they communicate with citizens, consumers, clients and stakeholders"--Introduction, page 2.
