Executive summary
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), including the Labour Program and Service Canada, strives to build a stronger and more inclusive Canada, to help Canadians live productive and rewarding lives, and to improve the quality of life for all Canadians. Many of the federal government’s largest and most well-known programs and services are provided by the Department in fulfillment of this broad mandate.
As a federal institution, ESDC is subject to the Access to Information Act and the department is pleased to submit this report as part of the legislative requirements of the Act. This report describes ESDC’s performance as related to access to information and reflects our commitment to openness and transparency, as foundational principles for how we deliver modern, open and ethical government operations.
Overview of results
This year’s results show ESDC has returned to its previous high levels of performance with compliance rates nearing those achieved pre-pandemic. The 2021 to 2022 reporting period was again impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as the Department continued to evolve its approach towards a hybrid working environment, featuring predominantly digital work and workplaces. Notwithstanding the significant changes in play, ESDC achieved strong results when responding to requests by Canadians for access to information about our programs.
The following is a high-level overview of the Department’s key access to information results during the reporting period:
- Requests received (1,163 declined slightly (- 1%) from the previous year
- Requests completed within legislated timelines increased significantly from the previous year from 63% to 84%
- Pages processed increased by a little over 1% to 93,092
- Outstanding requests from the previous year fell from 411 to 358 and for the second year in a row, more requests were closed than were received
- All mandated proactive disclosure requirements were met
- 19 Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) investigations were determined to be well-founded, representing only 1.6% of all active requests received in the year
- 33,453 ESDC employees were trained in Stewardship of Information and Workplace Behaviours (SIWB) course, and
- 25,370 employees completed the online Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP): It’s everybody’s business course
The detailed results that follow help to illustrate the Department’s ongoing commitment to open and transparent government. The actions taken to support these principles contribute to building the modern, effective and good government that Canadians expect and deserve.
1. Introduction
Presentation of the report
ESDC is pleased to present to Parliament its annual report for the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year. Section 94 of the Access to Information Act requires the head of a federal institution to submit an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act.
The Service Fees Act requires a responsible authority to report annually to Parliament on the fees collected by the institution. Information regarding fees collected under the Access to Information Act, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 20 of the Service Fees Act, is available in Section 5 of this report.
About ESDC
ESDC, which includes the Labour Program and Service Canada, delivers many federal programs and services. Given the broad scope of its mandate, it is among the largest and most decentralized federal institutions in the Government of Canada. Each day, ESDC interacts with thousands of Canadians by delivering services and programs that play important roles in their lives. Canadians expect high-quality, easy-to-access, and secure services that are responsive to their needs, whether they are interacting online, through call centres, or in person.
ESDC’s programs and services affect Canadians throughout the course of their lives. For example, the Department assists parents who are raising young children, helps students finance their post-secondary education, provides income support to unemployed Canadians, and pension income to seniors. ESDC delivers many of the Government of Canada’s flagship programs, such as the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program, Employment Insurance (EI), Old Age Security (OAS), and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). In the fiscal year 2021-22 the Department delivered $100 billion in benefits directly to individuals and organizations, which represents nearly 5% of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product.
In addition, during this reporting period, ESDC stood at the forefront of Canada’s efforts to mitigate the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This included Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and targeted support for students and seniors, among others.
The Labour Program contributes to social and economic well-being by fostering safe, healthy, fair and inclusive work environments, as well as cooperative workplace relations in workplaces falling under federal jurisdiction. The Labour Program also supplies labour relations mediation services, enforces minimum working conditions, promotes decent work and fosters respect for international labour standards. As with other parts of the Department, the Labour Program responded to the pandemic with agility and flexibility.
The Department’s service delivery arm, Service Canada, provides Canadians with a single point of access to ESDC programs and benefits, as well as to other Government of Canada programs and services.
About the Access to Information Act
The Access to Information Act provides Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and any individual or corporation present in Canada a right to access records of government institutions that are subject to the Act. This right is subject to limited and specific exemptions and exclusions, and in accordance with the principle that government information should be available to the public. The Government of Canada brought forth new legislative requirements under the Act in 2019, mandating departments to, among other things, proactively publish frequently requested information to further increase transparency and openness.
ESDC remains committed to delivering on its legislative obligations.
2. Organizational structure
Corporate Secretary and Chief Privacy Officer
ESDC’s Corporate Secretariat Branch is responsible for the Department’s access to information and privacy operations, issuing and managing privacy management policy, providing privacy advice and guidance, and privacy operations in the National Capital Region. These functions are carried out by ESDC’s ATIP Operations and the Privacy Management Division (PMD).
The Branch is led by the Corporate Secretary who is ESDC’s designated Chief Privacy Officer, the Department’s functional authority on all privacy matters and for the implementation of the privacy management framework. The Chief Privacy Officer’s responsibilities include providing strategic privacy advice and recommendations, maintaining ESDC’s privacy management program, and monitoring compliance to the relevant statutory obligations, policies and standards for privacy. In addition to this report, the Corporate Secretariat Branch reports separately on the administration of the Privacy Act.
Access to Information and Privacy Operations Division
The ATIP Operations team carries out the Department’s legislated requirements under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. It leads and advises on the processing of all ESDC requests under the Access to Information Act, performs line-by-line reviews of records requested under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act, and delivers training and awareness sessions to departmental employees on the administration of the acts. The director of ATIP Operations is ESDC’s designated ATIP coordinator. Approximately 45 ATIP Operations employees were dedicated to processing requests during in 2021 to 2022.
The day-to-day administration of the Access to Information Act is a collaborative endeavour between ATIP Operations and the Department’s network of branch liaison officers, who support this work by undertaking searches, collecting records and making recommendations. The liaison officers play an intermediary role between ATIP analysts and subject matter experts located across ESDC. Finally, the Division continues to provide departmental leadership on the 2019 amendments to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.
In addition to processing requests under the Access to Information Act, ATIP Operations contributed to other departmental activities. For instance, ATIP Operations staff frequently reviewed departmental material for proactive disclosure (for example, contracts, position reclassification, travel and hospitality expenses), informal requests (for example, audits and administrative investigations) and Open Government publications (for example, datasets) to identify sensitivities, such as personal information and cabinet confidences. While these activities are not accounted for within this report’s statistical information, such activities are an important and growing part of strengthening transparency and accountability.
Service agreement with the Canadian Accessibility Standards Development Organization
ESDC has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to provide access to information and privacy services for the Canadian Accessibility Standards Development Organization (CASDO), an independent departmental corporation in the Department’s portfolio. CASDO was established under the Accessible Canada Act and is mandated to help realize a Canada without barriers, on or before January 1, 2040.
COVID-19 operational impact
ESDC quickly took measures to support Canadians at the outset of the global COVID-19 pandemic while employees transitioned to remote work. This challenging environment contributed to an initial subsequent lower ATIP compliance rate in 2020 to 2021 and a sizeable backlog in ATIP requests. This backlog was carried over into the current fiscal year.
The pandemic also prompted the Department to transition, ever more efficiently, to new electronic processes including e-post and the use of digital signatures. In addition, additional resources in support of ATIP operations have been provided to help reduce the backlog of requests and restore the compliance rate to pre- pandemic levels of performance.
3. Delegations
Section 73 of the Access to Information Act empowers the head of an institution to delegate any of the powers, duties or functions assigned by these acts to employees of that institution.
The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion is responsible for the purposes of the Access to Information Act, and the Department’s enabling legislation—the Department of Employment and Social Development Act.
The approved delegation orders are reproduced in Annex A.
4. Policies, guidelines, procedures and initiatives
Access to Information Activities and Initiatives
ESDC continued its ATIP modernization initiative by implementing digital solutions as part of an ongoing shift to a largely paperless and remote office environment. The modernization initiative is focussed on standardizing processes and procedures across the Department’s decentralized ATIP model to process ATI requests more efficiently. The work is a priority and an important pillar towards ongoing compliance with the legislation. The Department is now processing the vast majority of requests digitally.
5. Performance reporting
The following section provides key statistics and analysis on ESDC accomplishments in the previous 4 fiscal years and how the Department contributed to the Government’s agenda in terms of access to information. Figure 3 through 5 display a 4-year comparison to highlight Access to Information Act performance trends. Detailed statistical reports for the Act are found in Annex C.
The number of requests received during the current fiscal year held broadly steady from the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Compliance rates however, improved significantly from the previous year returning to a level that is similar to that achieved in pre-pandemic years.
Requests and consultations: Total volume
During the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, ESDC experienced a small decrease (1%) in access to information requests, from 1,177 requests in 2021 to 2021 to 1,163 in the 2021 to 2022 reporting period.

| 2021 to 2022 | 1,163 |
In 2021 to 2022, Access to Information Consultation requests increased slightly, back to similar levels in pre-pandemic years.

| Number of pages processed | 118,818 | 133,982 | 92,080 | 93,092 |
| Number of requests completed within legislated timeframes (including extensions) | 1,305 | 1,094 | 772 | 990 |
| Number of requests completed beyond legislated timeframes | 204 | 208 | 462 | 186 |
| Proportion of requests that were responded to within legislated timeframes | 87% | 84% | 63% | 84% |
| Complaints to the Information Commissioner | 35 | 52 | 19 | 36 |
Total requests received and completed
During the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, ESDC received 1,163 requests under the Access to Information Act, a 1% decrease from the previous fiscal year, during which the Department received 1,177 requests. This continues a trend in recent years where ESDC has observed a decrease in the number of requests received, although this year’s decrease is much lower than previous years. This decrease can be explained, in part, by a business process that, with the consent of the client, moves erroneously submitted Access to Information Act requests into more accurate Privacy Act access requests.
While the number of requests closed during the reporting period decreased compared to the previous year, more requests were closed than were received. This is due to “carryover” requests from the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year being completed in the 2021 to 2022 reporting period.
The number of complaints made to the Information Commissioner, which had declined during the first year of the pandemic, returned this year to a pre-pandemic level. Complaints against the Department, as a proportion of requests made and completed, remain relatively low.
Text description for figure 3
| Year | Total Request Received | Total Requests Completed |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 to 2019 | 1,409 | 1,509 |
| 2019 to 2020 | 1,396 | 1,302 |
| 2020 to 2021 | 1,177 | 1,234 |
| 2021 to 2022 | 1,163 | 1,176 |
Requests by calendar days taken to complete
ESDC processed 52% (609) of all requests received (1,163) under the Access to Information Act within the first 30 days of receipt, up from the previous year when we processed 46% within the first 30 days. The increase is directly attributable to the winding down of the operational effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, improved efficiencies as a result of ATIP modernization efforts, and increased levels of resources, including human resources, dedicated to the administration of access to information by the Department.
Text description for figure 4
| Year | 30 Calendar Days | 31-60 Calendar Days | 61 or more Calendar Days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 to 2019 | 866 | 232 | 411 |
| 2019 to 2020 | 673 | 240 | 389 |
| 2020 to 2021 | 569 | 152 | 513 |
| 2021 to 2022 | 609 | 235 | 332 |
Timeframes
The Department met legislated timelines for 990 requests, a compliance rate of 84%. This represents a significant increase compared to last year and a return to pre-pandemic rates of compliance. As a result, the Department was not only able to process, in a timely manner, those requests received during the year, for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, but also to begin to reduce the number of requests outstanding from the previous reporting period (the backlog) from 411 in 2020 to 2021 to 358 in 2021 to 2022.
ESDC was unable to meet legislated timelines for 186 requests during the fiscal year, a significant decrease compared to the previous year. Institutions may apply for an extension beyond the original 30-day statutory timeframe in cases where meeting the statutory date is not feasible due to the volume of pages to be processed, where consultation is required that could not reasonably be conducted within the initial 30 days, or where notice is given to a third party. During the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, ESDC requested 371 extensions. Requesters were notified of delays.

| Year | Total Closed | Beyond timeframe | Within timeframe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 to 2019 | 1,509 | 204 | 1,305 |
| 2019 to 2020 | 1,302 | 208 | 1,094 |
| 2020 to 2021 | 1,234 | 462 | 772 |
| 2021 to 2022 | 1,176 | 186 | 990 |
Timeframe Monitoring
Except in certain circumstances, which allow for extensions, the Access to Information Act contains a statutory timeline of 30 calendar days (about 20 working days) to respond to requests. Given the legislated timeframes and ESDC’s commitment to respecting both the letter and spirit of the Access to Information Act, we continue to follow an established process and defined responsibilities as outlined in Table 2.
| Roles and responsibilities | Description |
|---|---|
| Retrieval of relevant records and formulation of recommendations | Once a request is received, it is tasked to the relevant branches and/or regions, and the Offices of Primary Interest. The Offices of Primary Interest have eight working days to retrieve all responsive records and present them, along with any recommendations, to ATIP Operations. |
| Line-by-line review of the responsive records | ATIP Operations has eight working days to complete a thorough line-by-line review of the records and to invoke any applicable exemptions and/or exclusions. |
| Advance release notice | Key stakeholders receive a notification that the release package has been posted electronically on a secure internal website at least 4 working days prior to the scheduled release date. This mechanism allows all implicated parties to provide final comments prior to release. |
In support of timeframe monitoring, ATIP Operations provides a weekly report to senior management and at the ministerial level. These reports continue to help branches and regions monitor their access to information requests.
Pages processed and disclosed
During the reporting period, the Department experienced a 1% increase in the total number of pages of documents processed and a 4% decrease in the number of pages disclosed for requests under the Access to Information Act (please refer to Figure 6).
Text description for figure 6
| Year | Pages Processed | Pages Disclosed |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 to 2019 | 118,818 | 94,115 |
| 2019 to 2020 | 133,982 | 91,228 |
| 2020 to 2021 | 92,080 | 69,052 |
| 2021 to 2022 | 93,092 | 66,018 |
During the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, the most common source of requests under the Access to Information Act was from the general public (439), closely followed by the business and private sector (388) with media requests (134) falling significantly from previous years.
| Source | 2018 to 2019 | 2019 to 2020 | 2020 to 2021 | 2021 to 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Media | 429 (30%) | 584 (42%) | 335 (29%) | 134 (12%) |

Exemptions and exclusions
ESDC is one of the largest holders of personal information in the Government of Canada, which affects the frequency in which exemptions and exclusions are applied under the Access to Information Act.
Exemptions
The Access to Information Act allows, and in some instances requires, that information relating to the internal decision-making processes of government, national security, law enforcement or trade secrets be exempted and not released.
The following table (Table 4) outlines the most frequently invoked exemptions during the past 4 fiscal years. Due to the nature of ESDC’s mandate, most of the information under the Department’s control contains personal information about individuals and must be withheld under the mandatory exemptions set out in Section 19 (Personal Information) unless certain conditions are met. Section 21 (Advice) was another frequently applied exemption for the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year and continued to represent an important percentage of the total.
| Section | 2018 to 2019 | 2019 to 2020 | 2020 to 2021 | 2021 to 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| s. 19 - Personal information | 306 (25%) | 249 (23%) | 180 (21%) | 182 (20%) |
| s. 16 - Law enforcement and investigations | 160 (13%) | 127 (12%) | 89 (10%) | 124 (14%) |
| s. 20 - Third party information | 164 (13%) | 180 (17%) | 119 (14%) | 118 (13%) |
| s. 21 - Advice and recommendations | 304 (25%) | 300 (28%) | 266 (31%) | 310 (34%) |
| s. 24 - Statutory prohibitions against disclosure | 84 (7%) | 75 (7%) | 49 (6%) | 55 (6%) |
* Figures are rounded for readability purposes.
Exclusions
The Access to Information Act does not apply to information that is already publicly available, such as government publications (Section 68), and confidences of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada (Section 69), which require consultation with the Department of Justice. During the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, we excluded records based on Section 69 for 142 requests.
Consultations received from other Government of Canada institutions and other organizations
In 2021 to 2022, ESDC received 189 (10,450 pages) external consultation requests, which originated from other Government of Canada institutions and organizations. This represents an increase compared to the previous fiscal year (137), as well as a significant increase in the number of pages reviewed compared to the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year (7,230). The figures for the current year mark a return to general pre-pandemic levels. This further illustrates the significant impact of the pandemic on ATIP operations in 2020 to 2021 with the current year reflecting a return to more ‘normal’ results.
The Department closed 191 requests for consultations of which 90 were completed within 30 days. The vast majority (132 or 69%) of those completed resulted in a recommendation to disclose the records in their entirety and 45 (24%) recommended to disclose in part.
| Types of consultation | 2018 to 2019 | 2019 to 2020 | 2020 to 2021 | 2021 to 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consultations requests received under the Access to Information Act | 222 | 309 | 137 | 189 |
| Pages reviewed under the Access to Information Act | 15,564 | 10,823 | 7,230 | 10,450 |
| Access to Information Act Requests for Consultations Closed | 223 | 291 | 155 | 191 |
| Access to Information Act Requests for Consultations Closed within 30 days | 141 | 170 | 24 | 90 |
Reporting on Access to Information fees for the purposes of the Service Fees Act
In 2017, the Government of Canada introduced the Service Fees Act, which replaced the User Fees Act. All government departments and agencies that charge fees for services are subject to this legislation, including ESDC.
The Service Fees Act requires a responsible authority to report annually to Parliament on the fees collected by the institution. Consistent with Treasury Board policy, fees charged pursuant to the Access to Information Act are to be reported in the Access to Information Annual Report. Consequently, ESDC is reporting these fees in this consolidated report.
General fees information

6. Complaints, Investigations and Court Actions
Individuals are entitled under the Access to Information Act to file a complaint related to their request for a record with the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC).
During the reporting period the Department was notified of 44 complaints by the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) an increase on the previous year’s figure. As with much of the data in this report, the number of complaints notified has returned to the level typically seen in pre-pandemic years. The OIC closed 36 complaints and determined 19 to be well founded. There were no court actions during the reporting period. Please refer to Table 8 for more information about the complaints.

Investigations could relate to complaints that were received by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in a fiscal year prior the 2021 to 2022 reporting period.
7. Training and awareness activities
Access to Information training
ESDC has a comprehensive mandatory training program to increase knowledge and awareness of the stewardship of information. All employees are required to maintain valid certification in the Stewardship of Information and Workplace Behaviours (SIWB), which addresses access to information, information management, privacy, how to handle personal information, security and values and ethics. The course is a component of the Department’s Essential Training Curriculum and is delivered online. At the end of the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, 33,453 employees held SIWB certification, which is valid for 2 years. In addition, the ATIP team were responsible for delivering targeted training for eight Departmental branch ATIP liaison officers as well to staff employed in the Department’s 3 ministerial offices.
In addition to SIWB, ESDC provided additional online courses in its training catalogue that were relevant to access. The course ‘Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP): It’s everybody’s business’ gives employees the knowledge required to protect, use and disclose personal information on a daily basis and teaches them to incorporate the principles of openness and transparency in their everyday work. During the last fiscal year, 25,370 employees completed the course.
New employees take the Doing Things Right and Doing the Right Thing: Putting the Departmental Code of Conduct into Action course, which has a significant access to information component. The course helps participants understand the application of ethical behaviour in the workplace and how to use that knowledge to guide them in their day-to-day work and decision-making, including their interactions with clients and colleagues. The course was taken by 24,861 employees during the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year.
