Private members bills rarely become law, so it is particularly nice to see Bill C-299, a bill introduced by Conservative MP James Rajotte, receive third reading in the House of Commons.  The bill, which adds pre-text provisions to the Criminal Code, is a response to the infamous Maclean's article that involved pre-texting to obtain the call records of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.  While more needs to be done on the identity theft issue, this is a good start.  The bill still requires Senate approval to become law.
