The Federal Government has introduced a new Safe Food for Canadians Act: Harper Government Introduces Safe Food for Canadians Act.

The Federal Privacy Commissioner yesterday issued a new policy position on online behavioural advertising: Policy Position on Online Behavioural Advertising.

The New York Times published an interesting Barnes & Noble Op Ed arguing that the settlement with e-book publishers would “punish consumers”: Barnes & Noble Argues Book Settlement “Punishes Consumers”.
