AccessPrivacy Monthly Call: The Emerging Data Sovereignty Conversation
Event Details
In the wake of the U.S. tariff war and related geopolitical tensions, the concept of data sovereignty has emerged as a central theme in Canadian federal and provincial policy discussions and legislative reform efforts in the privacy and AI arena.
Join us for a timely discussion about data sovereignty on our next Monthly Privacy Call on November 12, 2025, where Adam Kardash will be joined by Bojana Bellamy (President) and Matthew Reisman (Director of Privacy and Data Policy) of the Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL), a preeminent global privacy and data-policy think tank.
Adam, Bojana, and Matthew will start by grounding the discussion in a clear understanding of the concept of data sovereignty. They will then explore how different jurisdictions are approaching the issue through current and proposed legislative and policy measures—and will consider both the potential advantages of these initiatives and the risks or unintended consequences that may arise.
