Subject: Canada: Legislative Update: Bill C-26 Introduces New
Requirements For Federally Regulated Industries
by Lisa R. Lifshitz and Cameron McMaster
On June 14, 2022, the Minister of Public Safety, Marco Mendicino,
introduced into Parliament the first reading of Bill C-26, An Act
respecting cybersecurity, amending the Telecommunications Act and
making consequential amendments to other Acts (the "Bill"). The Bill
amends the Telecommunications Act and enacts a new Act: the Critical
Cyber Systems Protection Act ("CCSPA"), establishing a new
cybersecurity compliance regime for federally regulated private
industries and powers for the Governor-in-Council and the Minister of
Industry to order Canadian telecommunication services ("Telcos") to
take action to secure the protection of the Canadian
telecommunications system, including against threats of interference,
manipulation or disruption. Non-compliance with either regime may
result in high monetary penalties or imprisonment for individuals.

Subject: Third Circuit Decision Broadens TCPA Autodialer Definition?
by David O. Klein
Courts across the country continue to adapt in the wake of the
U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid. A little
over a year ago, this landmark case settled a circuit split about what
features dialing equipment must have to qualify as an autodialer under
the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"). Despite the decision's
ramifications, most interpreting courts declined to step away from
Facebook's analysis. However, this may have changed in a case titled
Panzarella v. Navient Solutions, Inc. In this recent decision, the
Third Circuit seems to have broadened the TCPA autodialer definition
to a startling degree.
