For the rest of you, I need your help. The Commissioner’s Game Show is coming up and we’re going to try a "Family Feud" format. Of course, that means I need to ask a large sample of privacy pros certain questions so that I can dramatically shout “Survey Says…” while on stage with the three above-mentioned Commissioners.

-       What are the top 5 concerns for privacy pros today?
-       What are the top 5 concerns privacy pros think should be preoccupying our Privacy Commissioners?
-       What are the biggest challenges for privacy pros working in the public sector?
-       What are the biggest challenges for privacy pros in the private sector?
-       What are the biggest concerns to an organization that experiences a breach?
-       What are the ways in which the GDPR will affect the privacy industry in Canada?
-       Looking to the future, what are the biggest threats to a healthy privacy regime in Canada?
-       What needs to be changed to make the privacy regime more effective in Canada?
