      Don’t turn London into ‘Singapore-on-Thames’, MPs tell Rishi Sunak

      Brexit is not an opportunity to turn the City of London into “Singapore-on-Thames”, an influential group of MPs has warned Rishi Sunak. In a new report on the future of financial services regulation, the Treasury select committee cautioned that Britain’s departure from the EU should not be used to trigger “instant or dramatic changes” to financial services regulation in the UK. The report said: “The Treasury should respect the principle of regulatory independence and must not pressure the regulators to weaken or water down regulatory standards. “We will remain alert for any evidence that regulators are coming under undue pressure from the Treasury to inappropriately weaken regulatory standards.” The warning comes as Mr Sunak, the Chancellor, moves to roll back EU-era…

      There Cannot Be ‘Double Standards, Selective Outrage’ on Religiophobia: India at UN

      There cannot be “double standards” on religiophobia and combating it should not be a “selective exercise” involving only one or two religions but also apply equally to phobias against non-Abrahamic religions, India has said at the United Nations. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti said on Friday that India has been the greatest victim of terrorism, especially cross-border terrorism.

Till this is done, such…

      In Canada, the federal Liberals announced privacy legislation to offer Canadians greater control over how their personal data is used by businesses, levy fines on non-compliant businesses and establish new guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

As reported, the minister said that it is one of the most “stringent frameworks” among G7 countries. The bill, dubbed the Digital Charter Implementation Act of 2022, contains the same name…
