The federal act, when it applies to Quebec and the other provinces, will affect federally regulated businesses-notably telephone companies, banks, airlines and interprovincial carriers-as well as all interprovincial and international personal data exchanges for business purposes.
the federal act applies to not only quebec but all of the states this side of the prime meridian.
It says nothing else about all of the states on the side of the prime meridian. I think the system got confused when i said "not only"
