The #Québec government recently tabled #Bill86 in the National Assembly, An Act to ensure the long-term preservation and vitality of agricultural land. The Bill introduces several significant amendments to the Act respecting the preservation of agricultural land and agricultural activities. It imposes certain restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land by non-farmers, and provides for a robust system of oversight and penalties for non-compliance with the new rules. In addition, municipalities have been given the power to impose a tax on units of assessment that include workable but unworked agricultural land. https://bit.ly/3DCDiuj Sonia Rainville Marie-Lou Beaumont and Martin Thiboutot #Agriculture #Municipallaw

This holiday season, think of the children! McMillan LLP's Privacy and Data Protection Group have recently received a number of questions about how Canadian privacy laws apply to children’s data. Canada does not have privacy legislation aimed specifically at children (like COPPA in the U.S.). However, Canada’s private sector privacy laws apply to children’s personal information and regulators have put a strong emphasis on children’s privacy matters in recent years.
