You're... wrong. Fixed video surveillance by definition includes the collection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). There are *many* laws at both the Federal and Provincial level in Canada about the collection, disclosure, use and storage of such - primarily by commercial entitles (Such as, say, a mall).
Here's some helpful links to further information on the topic.

At the municipal level, city by-laws must also be considered and apply not only to commercial entities but to private persons as well. For instance, in London, ON you would have to comply with their "Fortification of Land By-law - PW-8" which prohibits:
"“excessive protective elements” means protective elements that are excessive and includes but is not limited to:
[
(c) visual surveillance equipment, including video cameras, night vision systems, or electronic surveillance devices capable of permitting either stationary or scanned viewing or listening, beyond the perimeter of the land."
Similar by-laws exist in many other municipalities around the country.
