Candid Conversations for Financial Markets

Data Portability and Consumer Control

Based on the Competition Bureau’s “Your Data, Your Control,” this episode connects policy to day-to-day outcomes.

Canada is moving toward “your data, your rules.” That shift could reshape how you bank, shop, and compare prices.

The big idea: data portability lets you take your information with you securely so switching providers is easy, competition heats up, and better products show up faster.

This episode gets practical about what a working framework needs to overcome in human behavior, privacy guardrails and system design..
