Do I have to comply with the provisions of the Act if I live in a province that already has “substantially similar” legislation in place, for example Québec?
A. Yes. If a province passes a law that is substantially similar to the federal Act, the brokers in that province will be exempted from the federal law for collection, use or disclosure of personal information within that province only. The federal Act will continue to apply to all interprovincial and international collections, uses or disclosures of personal information — a situation that applies to many brokers.
