Privacy of Ontario Health Records In Doubt

sys$manager writes "According to this story on Excite.ca, a bill was introduced today outlining the privacy rules for medical records in Ontario. If the bill becomes law, the Health Records of Ontarians could become open to the Goverment and Police based on nine exemptions to the privacy rules laid out in the bill." Hey, if Ontario passes this bill, they'll have almost as little privacy as we do in the US!
