Gotchas

- As a Private Member's Bill introduced by the NDP opposition, it is statistically less likely to pass without support from the governing party
- Credit reporting in Canada is largely regulated federally under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and related laws, so a provincial bill in this area may face jurisdictional limitations
