Preface and Purpose
The Privacy Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter A–1, 1985) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983.
The purpose of the Privacy Act “is to extend the present laws of Canada that protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by a government institution and to provide individuals with a right of access to that information”. The law also protects an individual’s privacy by preventing others from having access to that personal information and allows an individual specific rights concerning the collection and use of his/her information.
Section 72 of the Privacy Act requires that the head of every government institution prepare for submission to Parliament an annual report on the administration of this Act within the institution during each financial year.
This annual report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Privacy Act and describes how Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada administered its responsibilities for the reporting period.
About the Organization
Departmental Mandate
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) helps Canadian businesses grow, innovate and export so that they can create good quality jobs and wealth for Canadians. The Department works with provinces, territories, municipalities, the post-secondary education system, employers and labour to improve the quality and impact of its programs that support innovation, scientific research and entrepreneurship, in order to build a prosperous and innovative Canada.
ISED works with Canadians in all areas of the economy and in all parts of the country to improve conditions for investment, to enhance Canada's innovation performance, and to make Canadian firms more productive and competitive in the knowledge-based economy. The Department works on a broad range of matters related to industry and technology, trade and commerce, science, consumer affairs, corporations and corporate securities, competition and restraint of trade, weights and measures, bankruptcy and insolvency, intellectual property, investment, small business, and tourism. ISED supports three ministers and two deputy ministers.
Access to Information and Privacy Services
Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Services is part of the Office of the Corporate Secretary (OCS) of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The team has a complement of 15 employees consisting of one Director, three managers, nine advisors and two support staff, all of whom are dedicated to processing access and privacy requests, as well as related functions. In 2016-17, the team lost two seasoned advisors (PM-04 and PM-05).
ATIP Services is responsible for the implementation and management of programs and services relating to the administration of the Access to Information Act and Privacy Act for the Department. Specifically, ATIP Services makes decisions on the disposition of access and privacy requests; promotes awareness of the legislation to ensure departmental responsiveness to statutory obligations; monitors and advises on departmental compliance with the Acts, regulations, procedures and policies; and acts as the spokesperson for the Department when dealing with the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Information Commissioner, the Privacy Commissioner, and other government departments and agencies. ATIP Services is also responsible for consulting with other federal departments and third parties with respect to ATIP requests received.
Delegation of Authority
The current ATIP Delegation Order was approved in June 2016. Pursuant to section 73 of the Acts, the Minister has delegated full authority to the Corporate Secretary, the Director and the Managers of ATIP Services. The designation of the Corporate Secretary position is for the purposes of providing strategic support and advice to the executive management of the Department concerning ATIP issues, if and when required. For all daily ATIP activities and operations, the Director and the Managers of ATIP Services exercise full responsibility (see Appendix B).
The Director of ATIP Services is responsible for the development, coordination and implementation of effective policies, guidelines and procedures to manage the Department’s compliance with the Acts. The administration of the legislation within the Department is managed by ATIP Services, but is also facilitated at the sector, branch and regional office levels. Each sector and corporate branch has an ATIP Liaison Officer (reporting to an Assistant Deputy Minister, Executive Director, etc.) who coordinates activities and provides guidance on the administrative processes and procedures of the Acts. ATIP Services, which is located in Ottawa, responds to all formal requests submitted to the Department under both Acts.
ATIP Policies, Procedures and Business Practices
To improve the administration of the ATIP program, and to ensure that Treasury Board ATIP policies are respected and implemented, ATIP Services regularly develops and updates various internal guidelines, procedures, and business practices.
Faced with a significant workload increase, the team put in place measures to address the volume of work and mitigate a possible backlog situation using past experiences and lessons learned. For example, team members doubled their efforts in negotiating with applicants, conducted faster consultations with other government departments and third-parties, relied on research and evidence provided by program officials to reduce the amount of consultations overall, ensured timelines at all stages of the process were efficient, and that tracking and reporting mechanisms were effective. Ongoing communication and collaboration across the department was also critical in achieving the level of productivity achieved by the team.
ISED is currently exploring ways to leverage encryption technology to improve timelines for processing privacy requests. More information will be included in next year’s report.
ATIP Services communicates information using various methods from direct interactions with departmental officials (i.e.: training and meetings), to publishing articles in the department’s weekly newsletter and/or posting on its intranet site.
The department now regularly uses epost Connect ™ to transmit records to requesters electronically in a safe, secure and timely manner. Feedback from our clients who have signed up for this service has been positive.
ATIP Services continues to maintain its lean engineering practices by reviewing processes and eliminating redundant administrative activities to ensure a high-level compliance and performance as well as positive communications with its clients and stakeholders.
Training and Outreach
Enhanced awareness and knowledge of ATIP obligations on the part of departmental officials has shown to improve the quality of responses and the Department’s rate of compliance with legal obligations.
Due to a 54 percent increase in formal requests (access, privacy and access consultations) and limited capacity in ATIP Services, very little training was made available to employees. Only new employees received training this year—approximately 12 sessions took place over the year and about 50 individuals received training.
Privacy—Trends and Statistics
The Department’s mandate is focused on Canadian businesses. Departmental programs and initiatives assist in building a more productive, competitive and knowledge-based economy for Canada. As a result, there are few privacy requests or privacy related issues.
A summarized statistical report on Privacy Act requests processed from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 is found at Appendix A. An explanation and interpretation of the information contained in the statistical report follows.
Statistical Report—Interpretation and Analysis
Number of requests received and completed
In 2016-2017, the Department received 47 requests submitted under the Privacy Act as compared to 55 requests received during 2015-2016. This represents a 17 percent decrease from the previous reporting period.
The Department completed 49 requests during this reporting period, less than the previous year (58), but only one request was carried forward to the following reporting period. Of those completed, 23 were disclosed in part, and 10 were all disclosed. No records were located with regard to 12 of the completed requests, and 4 were abandoned.
The Department did not receive any consultation requests from other Government of Canada institutions or other organizations during the reporting period.
Nature of information requested
The privacy requests processed involved issues related to staffing exercises (such as rating guides and screening processes), performance, personal comments and/or bankruptcy files held by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. This is in keeping with previous years. No significant trends were noted in the processing of privacy requests.
Volume of pages processed
A total of 4,513 pages were processed during the reporting period, a 148 percent decrease from the 11,213 pages processed last year. Of these, 3,134 pages were released, which represents 69 percent of records processed during the reporting period, compared to 48 percent in 2015-16.
Completion Time
The 49 requests were completed within the following timeframes:
- 10 within 1 to 15 days (20%)
- 24 within 16 to 30 days (49%)
- 11 within 31 to 60 days (23 %)
- 3 within 61 to 120 days (6 %)
- 0 within 121-180 days (0 %)
- 1 within 181-365 days (2 %)
- 0 in more than 365 days (0 %)
Overall, 92 percent of these requests were completed within 60 days, compared to 88 percent in 2015-16.
With respect to monitoring the processing time of requests, ATIP Services has continued the following business practices:
- Managers regularly review and monitor the status of privacy requests using the ATIP case management tool (Axcess-1);
- Managers conduct weekly operational meetings with staff to review work plans and establish priorities; and
- Managers report weekly to the Director on requests to be closed as well as on-time compliance.
Disposition of requests
The disposition of the 49 completed requests is as follows:
- 23 were disclosed in part (47 %)
- 10 were fully disclosed (21%)
- 4 requests were abandoned (8%)
- 12 had no existing records (24%)
- 0 were fully withheld (0%)
No records were provided in response to 16 requests because either the request was abandoned or no records were located during a search. This comprised 32 percent of responses, as compared to 34 percent for the previous reporting period.
Limits to the right of access—Exemptions and Exclusions
Exemptions in accordance with sections 19 through 28 of the Privacy Act can be invoked to withhold information from being released to a requester. Several exempting provisions can be applied to withhold information in response to one request, and these are reported separately in the statistical report. However, the same exempting provision invoked to withhold information more than once within the same request is reported only once in the statistical report.
The statistics demonstrate that the Department only invoked three exempting provisions throughout the reporting period—sections 22, 26 and 27. This reflects the nature of the information held by the Department (i.e., personal information about other individuals contained in staffing files, and administrative investigations carried out under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act).
The Privacy Act does not apply to published material, material available for purchase by the public, or confidences of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, pursuant to sections 69 and 70 of the Act, respectively. One exclusion was invoked to refuse access to information that was linked to a Cabinet confidence.
Requests for Correction of Personal Information and Notations
Similar to previous years, no requests for corrections or notations, were received for the reporting period. As a result, no monitoring processes were required during the reporting period.
Levelling of costs and human resources
ATIP Services
Total salary costs associated with ATIP Services administering the Privacy Act amounted to $29,357 for this reporting period. Non-salary costs amounted to $1,198 for a total cost of $30,555.
The human resources required to administer the Privacy Act amounted to 0.37 full-time equivalents (FTE), nearly half of what was reported the previous year.
Department
Administrative costs as reported by program officials across the Department associated with retrieving, reviewing and providing information to ATIP Services amounted to $10,509. The human resources outside of ATIP Services required to retrieve documents and provide recommendations totaled 0.15 FTEs.
Total Costs
The overall cost to administer the Privacy Act at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada amounts to $41,064 for the reporting period. Total human resources required to administer the Privacy Act for the reporting period was less than 1 FTE (0.5).
Disclosures Under Subsection 8(2)(m)
Subsection 8(2) of the Privacy Act provides limited and specific circumstances under which institutions may disclose personal information without an individual’s consent. Subsection 8(2)(m) allows institutions to release personal information if either the public interest in disclosure clearly outweighs any invasion of privacy that could result from the disclosure, or if the disclosure would clearly benefit the individual to whom the information relates.
During the reporting period, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada did not disclose personal information pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act.
Privacy Impact Assessments Completed During the Year
No privacy impact assessments (PIAs) were completed during the reporting period.
Material Privacy Breaches
No material privacy breaches occurred during the reporting period.
Complaints, Audits, Investigations and Appeals
Applicants have the right of complaint pursuant to the Act and may exercise this right at any time during or after the processing of their request. The Department received two formal complaints during the reporting period—both were related to the improper use and disclosure of personal information. These complaint investigations are ongoing.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) completed four complaint investigations during the reporting period—one involving allegations of improper use and disclosure, one regarding the collection of personal information, one concerning the application of exemptions to withhold information and the other concerning time limits. The first two complaints were discontinued, the third was deemed well founded and the last one was not well founded. This is in keeping with previous years.
No court challenges were received during the reporting period, nor were any audits relating to the administration of the privacy legislation conducted during the reporting period.
