Privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien says in his annual report today that his investigation did not find Statistics Canada had violated the law.

Therrien says Canadians were right to be worried given the scale of the proposed collection, the highly sensitive nature of the information and the fact the data would paint an intrusively detailed portrait of a person’s lifestyle, consumer choices and interests.
