Schedule 6 of Bill 11, the More Convenient Care Act reintroduces a complex legislative framework to provide Ontarians with access to their health records by means of a digital health identifier, first considered as Bill 231 during the previous session of Parliament. Despite the detailed recommendations made by the IPC in relation to the earlier bill, Bill 11 is virtually identical to Bill 231 and its significant changes to Ontario’s health privacy law continue to put Ontarians' health privacy at risk and limit rather than enable access rights.
