The Annual Report to Parliament on the Administration of the Privacy Act (the Act) within the Department of Finance Canada (the ‘Department’) is prepared and tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Act and covers the period from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016

The Act came into force on July 1, 1983. Its purpose is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by federal government institutions. It also provides Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and individuals present in Canada a right of access to their personal information.

The Department recognizes that the right of access to personal information is an essential element of our system of democracy. It is committed to openness and transparency, respecting both the spirit and the requirements of the Act, its regulations and related policy instruments. The Department further acknowledges the importance of facilitating access to information by requiring that its employees make every reasonable effort to assist applicants.

The Department of Finance Canada helps the Government of Canada develop and implement strong and sustainable economic, fiscal, tax, social, security, international and financial sector policies and programs. It plays an important central agency role, working with other departments to ensure that the government's agenda is carried out and that ministers are supported with high-quality analysis and advice.

The Department’s responsibilities include:

preparing the federal Budget and the Update of Economic and Fiscal Projections;
preparing the Annual Financial Report of the Government of Canada and, in cooperation with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and the Receiver General for Canada, the Public Accounts of Canada;
developing tax and tariff policy and legislation;
managing federal borrowing on financial markets;
designing and administering major transfers of federal funds to the provinces and territories;
developing financial sector policy and legislation; and
representing Canada in various international financial institutions and groups.

The Minister of Finance is accountable for ensuring that his responsibilities are fulfilled both within his portfolio and with respect to the authorities assigned through legislation. In particular, the Minister has direct responsibility for a number of acts as well as fiscal and tax policy relating to other acts that are under the responsibility of other ministers.

The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Division was part of the Law Branch up to October 2015. After a reorganization, the ATIP Division became part of the Communications Policy Division, Consultations and Communications Branch. The ATIP Divison is responsible for administering the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act for the Department. As a centralized operation, the ATIP Division coordinates the timely processing of requests under the legislation, handles complaints lodged with the Privacy Commissioner, and responds to informal inquiries. Division staff also provides guidance to departmental officials on matters involving the Act. The ATIP Division comprises a director, two team leaders, ten full-time ATIP analysts and two administrative assistants.

With the passing of the Federal Accountability Act, section 4(2.1) was added to the Access to Information Act:

“The head of a government institution shall, without regard to the identity of a person making a request for access to a record under the control of the institution, make every reasonable effort to assist the person in connection with the request, respond to the request accurately and completely and, subject to the regulations, provide timely access to the record in the format requested.”

While a similar provision was not included in the Privacy Act, the Department is nonetheless committed to both the spirit and intent of these principles and to the Directive on Privacy Requests and Correction of Personal Information with respect to their application when processing Privacy Act requests.

This year, the ATIP Division participated in two Orientation Sessions. These are provided to employees who are new to the Department as a means to introduce them to the activities of each Branch. It provided information about the ATIP Division, the Act, and information management practices to 45 new employees.

Two other training sessions were given to 13 departmental employees within various branches of the Department. The training was delivered using the Canada School of Public Service on-line ATIP training module to ensure that it is consistent with the whole of government approach. A total of 13 employees received this training. Training sessions were also conducted with branch ATIP contacts focusing on ATIP processes including those for the annual update of InfoSource. No branch specific training was requested this fiscal year.

Ad hoc training on a variety of subjects was also provided as needed to individuals throughout the Department including to new ATIP branch contacts.

An internal audit of systems and processes for Access to Information (ATI) requests and security and information management was completed in 2015-2016. Though the internal audit’s primary focus was on ATI requests, several of the best practices that were developed from the findings also apply to the processing of Privacy Act requests. The audit concluded that the Department has effective and reliable information systems and activities for processing access to information requests. While the audit noted recent improvements in the review process regarding ATI requests, further opportunities exist to reduce the time required to retrieve requested information, and to streamline the process to review release packages. As a result,

The audit recommended to the Deputy Minister that:

All Branches adopt best practices related to information management, which will enable them to identify and retrieve information for ATI requests in the expected timeframes; and
That the review done by the Law Branch no longer take place after the Consultations and Communications Branch review unless legal issues are involved.

In response to recommendation 1) guidance documents were developed to assist all departmental officials in responding to ATI requests. These included guidance documents on most commonly used exemptions, security of information and information management.

In response to recommendation 2) effective June 1, 2015, the Access to Information (ATI) approval process was reviewed and a new process was put into place. Assistant Deputy Ministers, their General Director(s) or Executive Director(s) have been delegated to approve the release of information for most ATI requests. In addition, to speed up the process, the transmission of the proposed package to be reviewed and approved is now being done electronically with an expected turn-around time of five business days should time permit.

To ensure policy compliance and adherence to procedures for appropriate handling and preparation of responses to ATIP requests, the ATIP Division continued to update tools used by staff both in the ATIP Division and across the Department and held face-to-face meetings with new staff and contacts. Both tools and meetings were instrumental in ensuring that the Department’s employees are aware of their roles and responsibilities related to access to information and privacy requests.

Due to a change in government, the delegation of authority was modified and approved on December 1, 2015. The authority to approve or deny the release of information under the Act is shared by the Deputy Minister, the Associate Deputy Ministers, the Assistant Deputy Ministers of Consultations and Communications Branch and Corporate Services Branch, the Senior Director, Communications Policy Division, the ATIP Director, ATIP Team Leaders and Senior ATIP analysts to sign off on more administrative matters. The ATIP Director normally performs the function, with the exception of disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(e) of the Act, which are usually handled by the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Corporate Services Branch.

Info Source is a series of publications containing information about and collected by the Government of Canada. The primary purpose of Info Source is to assist individuals in exercising their rights under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. Info Source also supports the federal government's commitment to facilitate access to information regarding its activities.

A description of the Department’s functions, programs, activities and related information holdings can be found in Sources of Federal Government and Employee Information. Info Source also provides private individuals and federal government employees (current and former) with the information required to access their personal information held by government institutions that are subject to the Privacy Act.

During this reporting period, the ATIP Division reviewed the content of its Info Source chapters, including the descriptions of its information holdings, its institutional functions, programs and activities.

All Info Source publications are available free of charge on the Internet.

The number of formal requests received this reporting period was 36, a 44% increase from 20 formal requests received the previous reporting year. One request was carried over from 2014-2015. By the end of 2015-2016, all 37requests were completed.

Table 1 illustrates a three-year trend.

Table 1. Overview of Privacy Act Requests

Fiscal Year	New Requests Received	Requests Completed	Number of Pages Processed	Number of Pages Released	On-Time Compliance Rate %
2015-2016	36	37	2746	2595	100%
2014-2015	20	19	439	381	89.5
2013-2014	5	5	6	6	100

In 2015-2016, the Department did not receive any consultations from other government institutions or organizations.

Many individuals who submit Privacy Act requests are under the impression that the Department holds the same type and amount of personal information about them as is held by the Canada Revenue Agency, banks, and trust companies. That is not the case and explains why many requests do not result in the retrieval of personal information about those individuals. The following table indicates the disposition of the 37 completed requests this fiscal:

Disposition / Completion Time of Requests

Disposition	Number of Requests	Percentage of Requests
All disclosed	14	37.8%
Disclosed in part	6	16.2%
All exempted	0	0%
All excluded	0	0%
No records exist	12	32.4%
Request abandoned	5	13.5%
Neither confirmed or denied	0	0%
Total	37	100.0 %

Of the 37 requests completed, all were closed on time, an increase over 2014-2015’s 89.5%. Of the 37 requests closed during the reporting period, 34 (91.8%) were completed within 30 days, two (5%) requests were completed within two months and one (2.7%) request took between 61 and 120 days.

In 2015-2016, the Department invoked a total of eight exemptions pursuant to specific sections of the Act. These exemptions were as follows:

Exemptions / Exclusions

Section of the Act	Number of Times Exemptions Applied
Section 19 - Personal information obtained in confidence from other governments	1
Section 26 - Personal information	6
Section 27 - Solicitor-client privilege	1

No exclusions were applied.

Records were provided to applicants in 20 cases, 11 of those in paper format and nine on compact disc. No applicants asked to review the records as opposed to receiving a copy.

Six of the requests were considered complex as they contained personal information about individuals other than the requestors.

All requests were responded to within the statutory deadlines

There were no requests for translation this reporting period.

Paragraph 8(2)(e) of the Act allows for disclosures of personal information “to an investigative body...for the purpose of enforcing any law.” The Department did not make any disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(e) of the Act in this reporting period.

Paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Act allows for disclosures of personal information in the public interest. The Department did not make any disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Act in this reporting period.

No requests for corrections or notations were received from applicants this reporting period.

Two extensions of the statutory time limits under the Act were taken, one for interference of operations and one for consultation purposes.

No consultations were received from other government institutions or organizations.

No consultations with respect to Cabinet confidences were required.

There was one complaint involving the use and disclosure of personal information lodged against the Department during the reporting period. That complaint has been carried forward to 2016-2017.

No complaints were closed this reporting period.

One investigative review (audit) was initiated by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner this reporting period. It deals with the fair information handling provisions of the Privacy Act (Sections 4 to 8); it has been carried forward to 2016-2017.

As previously mentioned, an internal audit of systems and processes for Access to Information (ATI) requests and security and information management was completed in 2015-2016. Though the internal audit’s primary focus was on ATI requests, several of the best practices that were developed from the findings also apply to the processing of Privacy Act requests. The audit concluded that the Department has effective and reliable information systems and activities for processing access to information requests. While the audit noted recent improvements in the review process regarding ATI requests, further opportunities exist to reduce the time required to retrieve requested information, and to streamline the process to review release packages.

The Department did not initiate or complete any Privacy Impact Assessments this reporting period.

Costs incurred in the reporting period are calculated on the salaries of ATIP Division staff and the administrative expenses associated with administration of the Act. Costs do not include salaries of other departmental personnel involved in processing requests. Administration of the Act cost the Department $71,394 this reporting year.

No appeals were made to the Federal Court.

Due to the small amount of requests processed by the Department under the Act, including corrections or notations, monitoring of requests is conducted within the ATIP Division as required in order to ensure that the Department meets its legislated obligations.

There were no material privacy breaches which occurred this reporting period.

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. There were no disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) for the 2015–2016 period.
