Publisher Description

Cet article questionne le bien fonde de l'adoption d'une analyse de la cybersurveillance basee sur des notions de propriete au Quebec. Compte tenu de l'impact des moyens sophistiques de surveillance electronique sur le droit au respect de la vie privee, l'auteure se penche sur le cadre juridique pertinent a la surveillance des courriels des salaries aux Etats-Unis, portant un interet particulier sur ses racines historiques et sur la rationalite qui l'anime. L'auteure se penche egalement sur le cadre juridique quebecois en ce qui est de l'etendue de la protection du respect de la vie privee des employes en gardant en vue les criteres de dignite et de droits fondamentaux qui en decoulent. L'auteure invite ensuite les tribunaux quebecois a refuser de succomber a l'approche dite volontariste au droit a la vie privee en milieu de travail. Finalement, l'auteure s'interroge sur la pertinence d'un modele juridique alternatif, a savoir, le modele francais. Ainsi, il semblerait que la tradition juridique quebecoise, vouee a la justice sociale, se prete mieux a l'approche francaise qu'a l'approche americaine, puisqu'elle repose sur la dignite de l'employe et sur le juste equilibre entre leurs droits et ceux de leurs employeurs. This article questions the relevance of adopting a property-based cybersurveillance analysis in Quebec. Given the impact of sophisticated electronic surveillance on the right to privacy, the author focuses on the legal framework that pertains to the monitoring of employee's e-mails in the United States, paying particular attention to the historical origin and rationale behind the idea of cybersurveillance. The author also focuses on Quebec's legal framework governing employee privacy rights, as well as on Quebec's legal culture of protecting dignity and fundamental rights. The author then calls on Quebec courts to reconsider giving in to the so-called voluntary approach to the right of privacy in the workplace. Finally, she questions the relevance of an alternative legal model, namely the French model. It appears that the legal tradition of Quebec lends itself better to the French approach than to the American one, for the Quebec model is premised on the notion of dignity of the employee and on the need to balance the rights of the employee and employer.
