<h3>Join us for a conversation with Ciara Bracken-Roche, Vivek Krishnamurthy, David Murakami Wood, and Bianca Wylie, moderated by Valerie Steeves, on the circumstances and concerns around the introduction and prolonged use of ArriveCAN. </h3>Although there have been ongoing government efforts since the 2000s to collect increasing amounts of data about travellers to Canada, the pandemic provided the ideal circumstance under which this type of system could be trialled. The Government of Canada accordingly introduced ArriveCAN in April 2020 &#x27;to create a secure and user-friendly way to help travellers comply with covid19 border measures&#x27;. The use of this facility became mandatory in November 2020 and was going to be brought in permanently for all travellers until it was abruptly cancelled in October 2022. This panel will discuss the circumstances and concerns around the introduction and prolonged use of ArriveCAN and highlight the important issues at play in this form of surveillance. <h3>À propos des panélistes | About the Speakers </h3>Dr. Ciara Bracken-Roche is an Assistant Professor in the School of Law and Criminology at Maynooth University, and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa.
