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, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

Purpose of the Privacy Act

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.

Mandate of the Department of Finance Canada

The Department 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 the following:

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/her responsibilities are fulfilled both within his/her 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.

Administration of the Privacy Act

Access to Information and Privacy Division

The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Division is part of the Consultations and Communications Branch. The ATIP Division 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, conducts interdepartmental consultations, handles complaints lodged with the Information Commissioner, and responds to informal inquiries. Division staff also provides guidance to departmental officials on matters involving the Act. As of March 31, 2022, ten employees within the ATIP Division were dedicated to the administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act along with related functions. On that date, the ATIP Division was comprised of a director, supported by two managers, six ATIP analysts, and an administrative assistant. The Department of Finance Canada did not enter into any service agreements pursuant to section 73.1 of the Privacy Act.

Principles on Assistance to Applicants

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.

Policies, Guidelines, Procedures and Initiatives

Impact of COVID-19 on ATIP Operations

Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the health and economic well-being of people around the world.

Like other workplaces across Canada, the Government of Canada implemented exceptional workplace measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 and protect federal employees and the public. Starting March 16, 2020, the Department of Finance and other institutions were operating with significantly reduced on-site workforces, with most employees asked to work remotely. As a result, the Department’s ability to meet the legislated timelines under the Privacy Act was significantly constrained in 2020-2021, resulting in delays in responding to requests, which were also felt in 2021-2022.

Throughout 2021-2022, the Department continued to process its requests electronically after modernizing its work processes the previous year resulting in an end-to-end digital paperless delivery model. With the reintegration of a limited number of employees at the physical workplace, the Division was able to focus on requests that that had been received in previous years and requiring the processing of paper records, in addition to new incoming requests which could be processed digitally.

Training and Awareness

During the reporting period, the ATIP Division provided two training and awareness sessions to 113 participants. These sessions were given to employees and managers within the Department and covered various topics surrounding the Acts’ legislative and policy requirements. For example, the sessions discussed the effective processing of access to information and privacy requests, proactive publication requirements, the principles surrounding the management of personal information, and the application of the Acts’ exemption and exclusion provisions.

Delegation of Authority

The delegation of authority approved on May 5, 2021 provides the authority to approve or deny the release of information under the Act. This is shared by the Deputy Minister, the Associate Deputy Minister, the Assistant Deputy Ministers of Consultations and Communications Branch and of Corporate Services Branch, the Director General of Consultations and Communications the ATIP Director, ATIP Mangers and and Senior ATIP advisors. The ATIP Director and ATIP Managers normally perform 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.

Information Holdings

All government institutions subject to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act publish an inventory of their information holdings as well as relevant details about personal information under their control. The information can assist individuals in making an access to information or personal information request, or in exercising their privacy rights.

A description of the Department’s programs, activities, and information holdings, including its classes of records and personal information banks can be found in Info Source: Sources of Federal Government and Employee Information.

Some programs and activities, such as human resources and financial management, are common to most government institutions. These are known as internal services and they involve the following types of information:

Standard classes of records: These are descriptions of all records created and used to support internal services.
Standard personal information banks: These are descriptions of personal information contained in records, and collected and used to support internal services.

Interpretation of Statistical Report (Annex A)

Section 1 – Requests under the Privacy Act

The number of formal requests received in 2021-2022 was 13, an increase of 85% from 7 formal requests received the previous reporting year. No request was carried over from 2020-2021. By the end of 2021-2022, four requests remained outstanding.

The following table illustrates a five-year trend.

1.1
**Overview of Privacy Act Requests**
Fiscal Year	New Requests Received	Requests Completed	Number of Pages Processed	Number of Pages Released	On-Time Compliance Rate %
2021-2022	13	9	1237	800	88.9%
2020-2021	7	7	87	87	57.1%
2019-2020	14	14	601	601	100%
2018-2019	21	21	23	23	100%
2017-2018	20	21	40	40	100%

Section 2 – Requests Closed During the Reporting Period

Disposition / Completion Time of Requests

Many individuals who submit Privacy Act requests incorrectly assume that the Department holds the same type and amount of personal information 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. The following table indicates the disposition of the seven completed requests this fiscal year:

2.1
**Disposition and completion time**
Disposition	Number of Requests	Percentage of Requests
All disclosed	1	11.1%
Disclosed in part	1	11.1%
All exempted	0	0%
All excluded	0	0%
No records exist	3	33.3%
Request abandoned	4	44.4%
Neither confirmed or denied	0	0%
Total	9	99.9 %

Completion Time

Of the nine requests completed, eight were completed within 30 days. The remaining request was closed between 31 and 120 days owing to its volume.

Exemptions / Exclusions

In 2021-2022, the Department invoked sections 22 (law enforcement and investigations) and 26 (personal information belonging to another individual) to some of the information requested.

Format of Information Released

Records were provided to the applicant in two cases, and in both instance they were provided in electronic form.

Complexity

One of the requests required the review of more than 1,000 pages (1226 pages).

Deemed Refusals

Of the nine requests completed, eight (88.9%) were closed on time. The remaining request received a late response owing to its volume.

Translations

There were no requests for translation this reporting period.

Section 3 – Disclosures under Subsection 8(2) and 8(5) (Permissible Disclosures)

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.

Section 4 – Requests for Correction of Personal Information and Notations

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

Section 5 – Extensions

The Department claimed an extension on one of the requests processed under the Privacy Act in 2021-2022.

Section 6 – Consultations Received from Other Institutions and Organizations

No consultations were received from other government institutions or organizations.

Section 7 – Completion Time of Consultations on Cabinet Confidences

The departmental Legal Services Unit was not asked to respond to any consultations to confirm the existence of Cabinet Confidences during the reporting period.

Section 8 – Complaints/Investigations/Audits

In 2021-2022, no complaints were made regarding the processing of requests under the Privacy Act. A single complaint was lodged against the Department during the reporting period regarding the management of personal information. The investigation had not yet been completed at end of the reporting period. No complaints were completed in 2021-2022.

No audits were initiated or completed this fiscal year.

No appeals were made to the Federal Court.

Section 9 – Privacy Impact Assessments and Personal Information Banks

The Department did not initiate or complete any Privacy Impact Assessments this reporting period. There is currently one institution-specific active personal information bank (PIB) for the Department of Finance, entitled Tax Data - Evaluation and Formulation of Fiscal Policy (Bank number FIN PPU 100), as outlined in the Info Source publication.

Section 10 – Material Privacy Breaches

No material privacy breaches occurred this reporting period.

Section 11 – Resources Related to the Privacy Act

Administration of the Act cost the Department $10,689 in 2021-2022. Costs incurred in the reporting period include 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.

Section 12 – Supplemental Reporting – Capacity to Receive and to Process Requests and Breakdown of Outstanding Requests and Complaints

In line with public health restrictions, a limited number of employees of the ATIP Division had reintegrated the physical office in 2020 and the Department was able to receive and process requests received by mail and those involving paper records. There was an eight-week period at the beginning of 2022 when the ATIP Division did not have anyone on site due to renewed health and safety concerns relating to the pandemic. The Division was receiving and logging requests received electronically (by email or through the digital request service) throughout all of 2021-2022.

At the end of the fiscal year, four requests remained in the remained in the Department’s inventory of active requests. These requests were carried forward from the 2021-2022 fiscal year and all were on time at the end of year.

At the end of 2021-2022, a single complaint against the Department remained in its inventory of active complaints. The complaint was received in 2021-2022.

Monitoring Compliance

Due to the small number 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.
