Is PIPEDA a federal, provincial, or municipal statute?

  1. Federal

  2. Provincial

  3. Municipal

  4. International

The correct answer is: Federal

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is a federal statute in Canada. This law applies to all provinces and territories, making it different from provincial and municipal statutes which are limited to a specific region. It also does not fall under the category of international statute because it is specific to Canada. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
