PACC President Sharon Polsky MAPP appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI) to take part in its study related to the use of device investigation tools by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Ms Polsky’s remarks addressed the use of Pegasus and other spyware by RCMP and other law enforcement agencies, and the impact it has on the public’s trust in police and government. She also offered suggestions for mitigating risks that spyware poses to individuals’ privacy in both personal and professional settings.
