Annual Report on the Administration of the Privacy Act 2015–2016

April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016

Table of Contents


Introduction

The Privacy Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter A-1, 1985) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983.

The Privacy Act (the Act) extends to individuals the right of access to information about themselves held by the government, subject to specific and limited exceptions. The Act also protects an individual's privacy by preventing others from having access to personal information and gives individuals substantial control over its collection, use and disclosure.

This annual report describes how the Canada School of Public Service (the School) administered its responsibilities under the Act during the 2015–2016 fiscal year. This report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Act.

The School is the common learning service provider for the Public Service of Canada. It has a legislative mandate to provide a range of learning activities to build individual and organizational capacity and management excellence within the public service.

The School has one strategic outcome: Federal public service employees have the common knowledge, skills and competencies to fulfil their responsibilities in serving Canadians.

Established on April 1, 2004, under the Public Service Modernization Act and operating under the authority of the Canada School of Public Service Act (CSPS Act), the School's primary responsibility is to provide a range of learning opportunities and develop a learning culture within the public service.

The School, a departmental corporation, is mandated under the CSPS Act to

  • encourage pride and excellence in the public service;
  • foster a common sense of purpose, values and traditions in the public service;
  • support deputy heads in meeting the learning needs of their organizations; and
  • pursue excellence in public management and administration.

The School supports deputy head accountabilities with respect to leadership and professional development across the public service by identifying organizational needs and designing and delivering high-quality, practical programs that address the key development requirements of public service employees.

Organizational Structure and Access to Information and Privacy Responsibilities

The School's Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) activities are primarily carried out by the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office, which is part of the Strategic Directions and Service Excellence Branch. This unit is led by the Senior Director of the Strategic Directions and Public Affairs Directorate and is composed of a manager, who is the School's ATIP Coordinator, two ATIP advisors and an administrative services assistant.

The ATIP Coordinator is responsible for daily activities related to the administration of the Act.

In addition to its activities related to parliamentary affairs, the responsibilities of the School's ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office include the following:

  • processing requests for information submitted under the Access to Information Act and requests for personal information pursuant to the Privacy Act in accordance with legislation, regulations and Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) policies and guidelines;
  • responding to ATIP consultations received from other government institutions and organizations;
  • providing advice and guidance to requesters on the application of ATIP legislation as well as awareness and training to School employees;
  • cooperating with the Office of the Information Commissioner and with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner on the resolution of complaints;
  • reviewing departmental documents prior to their proactive disclosure on the School's website;
  • ensuring that the School's information holdings (classes of records and personal information banks) are published in Info Source;
  • preparing the statistical reports and the annual reports on the administration of the Access to Information Act and on the administration of the Privacy Act; and
  • participating in ATIP community activities, such as the TBS-led ATIP coordinators' and ATIP practitioners' meetings and working groups.

Delegation of Authority

In October 2015, the Deputy Minister/President of the School delegated full authority for the purposes of the Act to the Vice-President of the Strategic Directions and Service Excellence Branch and to the Senior Director of the Strategic Directions and Public Affairs Directorate, with most authorities also delegated to the ATIP Coordinator. A copy of the signed delegation instrument for the Act in effect on March 31, 2016 is included in Annex A.

Interpretation of the Privacy Act Statistical Report 2015–2016

The following outlines the information contained in the Statistical Report on the Privacy Act for 2015–2016, which is attached as Annex B.

Requests Received Under the Act

Between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the School received six requests for personal information under the Privacy Act. The School also had four outstanding requests from the previous reporting period. Nine requests were completed during the current year, and one was carried forward to the next reporting period. The School did not receive any consultations from other government institutions or organizations in 2015–2016.

Disposition of Completed Requests

One of the requests resulted in full disclosure to the applicant; in the remaining eight cases, some information was withheld in accordance with the Act's exemption provisions.

Completion Time and Extensions

Five requests were processed within the first 30 days, and the remaining four requests required more than 120 days to process.

Section 15 of the Privacy Act provides for the extension of the statutory time limits for a maximum of 30 days if meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the government institution or if consultations are necessary to comply with the request that cannot reasonably be completed within the original time limit. The School claimed extensions on one of the requests processed in 2015–2016. The extension was obtained due to a large volume of records to review that would have resulted in unreasonable interference with the School's operations.

During the reporting period, the School was unable to meet its deadline for four requests due to workload pressures within the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office.

Exemptions and Exclusions

Exemptions and exclusions are the only grounds to withhold personal information found in records that are requested under the Privacy Act. Their application is limited and specific, as stipulated in the Act.

The School invoked exemptions under section 26 in eight cases and section 27 on one request. Section 26 protects personal information pertaining to individuals other than the requester, and section 27 applies to solicitor-client privilege.

The Act indicates that certain types of materials are excluded from its application, specifically, records that are already available to the public (section 69) and Cabinet Confidences (section 70). The School did not invoke these exclusions on any requests completed during the reporting period.

Format of Information Released

The School provided records on electronic format in six cases and in paper format in response to three requests.

Relevant Pages Disclosed

A total of 10,672 pages were reviewed by staff during the reporting period, with 10,121 of them resulting in disclosure (in full or in part) to requesters. The remaining 551 pages were withheld pursuant to the Act's exemptions.

Costs

Salary costs related to the administration of the Privacy Act incurred by the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office are estimated at $61,700. Overhead and maintenance costs are estimated at $1,500 for a total of $63,200.

Disclosures Under Paragraphs 8(2)(e) and 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act

Paragraph 8(2)(e) of the Act allows for the disclosure of personal information to an investigative body subject to specific criteria prescribed by the Privacy Regulations. The School did not disclose any personal information pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(e) during 2015–2016.

Paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Act allows for the disclosure of personal information when the public interest clearly outweighs any invasion of privacy or when the disclosure would benefit the individual. The School did not disclose any personal information pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) during 2015–2016.

Training and Awareness

The ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office informs and guides employees and requesters regarding the requirements of the Privacy Act through ongoing dialogue and informal discussions. During the reporting period, the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office employees responded to inquiries from employees and senior management, providing advice and guidance on various subjects pertaining to the Act.

In 2015–2016, a training session on the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act was provided to three of the School's executives who were unable to participate in sessions offered during the previous fiscal year.

A dedicated section on the School's intranet site provides School employees and ATIP liaison officers with key information on ATIP and reiterates employee accountability for ensuring that personal information is handled in accordance with the Act.

New Procedures, Guidelines and Directives

The School did not implement new or revised privacy policies, guidelines or procedures in 2015–2016.

Complaints

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) notified the School of three new complaints in 2015–2016, originating from a single individual. Two of the complaints were due to processing times and one complaint alleged that the School did not disclose all relevant information in response to a request for personal information under the Act. The investigations were still ongoing as of March 31, 2016 and the School is cooperating fully with the OPC.

During the reporting period, the OPC provided the School with its findings on two complaints originating from a single individual and alleging that the School did not disclose all relevant information in response to two requests for personal information. During the course of the investigation, the School released additional information, and the OPC was satisfied that all relevant information was provided to the individual. The OPC deemed the complaints resolved.

Monitoring Time to Process

Since the School is a small institution with a relatively small number of requests in comparison to other institutions, senior management is kept informed of the time taken to process personal information requests through ongoing verbal briefings.

Material Privacy Breaches

No material privacy breaches occurred during the reporting year.

Privacy Impact Assessments

The School did not complete any Privacy Impact Assessments in 2015–2016.
