Inside Out: Mitigating Against the Risk of Employee Data Breach
with Privacy & Technology Lawyer David Fraser
The consequences of data breach have never been higher. And whether accidental or malevolent, one of an organization’s greatest data breach risks is posed by its own employees. David will explain why a strategy to avoid and handle data breaches by employees is a crucial component of every data breach risk mitigation plan, the key elements of the employee breach risk strategy, and how to deal with breaching employees.
Presenting the New CBCA: Modernized & Transparent
with Corporate Finance & Securities Lawyer Jeff Hoyt
The transformation of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) to a more modern and transparent regime is continuing. Jeff will highlight the key recent and planned amendments to the CBCA relevant to each of private and public CBCA corporations, including the new register of individuals with significant control requirement, expanded diversity and other reporting obligations, and shareholders’ say-on-pay.
Cannabis Update: Digesting the Legalization of Edible Cannabis
With a year of legalized dried and living cannabis for recreational use under their belts, employers must prepare to digest the next course in the legalization of recreational cannabis. Edible cannabis for recreational use will soon be legal and available in Canada. Stephanie will discuss why edibles are different from other forms of cannabis, how the legalization of recreational edibles will impact the workplace, and what steps employers can take to prepare.
