Ensuring Research Confidentiality

Research on many important issues is only possible if researchers can assure confidentiality for research participants. Currently there is no statutory protection for human subject confidentiality in Canada. Based on the study of such laws in other jurisdictions, the Centre for Free Expression is developing proposed legislation for Canada and working with the federal funding agencies and the federal government for the adoption of statutory protection for human subject confidentiality in Canada.
