On 23 September 1980, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) adopted the Guidelines Governing the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data in order to harmonize the data protection practices of member countries by means of minimum standards for handling personal information. ... Although the federal government, and indeed the federal Privacy Commissioner, were content at that time to encourage the private sector to develop and adopt voluntary privacy protection codes, by the end of the 1980s the Privacy Commissioner was concerned about the lack of progress in this regard and called for federal legislation mandating federally regulated corporations to develop such codes of practice. 1, record 1, English, - federal%20Privacy%20Commissioner

Le 23 septembre 1980, l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) adopte les Lignes directrices régissant la protection de la vie privée et les flux transfrontières de données de caractère personnel afin d'harmoniser les pratiques de protection des données des pays membres par l'application de normes minimales quant à leur traitement. [...] À cette époque, le gouvernement fédéral et même le Commissaire fédéral à la protection de la vie privée se contentent d'encourager le secteur privé à élaborer et à adopter des codes de respect de la vie privée d'application volontaire, mais, à la fin des années 1980, préoccupé par le manque de progrès à ce chapitre, le commissaire demande l'adoption d'une loi fédérale obligeant les entreprises sous réglementation fédérale à se doter de tels codes. 1, record 1, French, - Commissaire%20f%C3%A9d%C3%A9ral%20%C3%A0%20la%20protection%20de%20la%20vie%20priv%C3%A9e
