2020-2021 Annual Report to Parliament : The Administration of the Access to Information Act
1 Introduction
The purpose of the Access to information Act is to extend the present laws of Canada to provide a right of access to information in records under the control of a government institution, according to the principles that government information should be available to the public, that necessary exceptions to the right of access should be limited and specific, and that decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.
1.1 Background
Section 72 of the Access to Information Act requires that the head of every government institution prepare and submit to Parliament an annual report on the administration of the Act within the institution. This is the nineteenth annual report to Parliament on performance with respect to administration of the Act by the Office of the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (the Office or the Office of the Ombudsman).
The Office of the Ombudsman is committed to openness and transparency about its administration and functioning. The Office endeavours to ensure that information about its work is widely disseminated and easily available. For example, the Ombudsman’s annual reports, special reports and press releases are posted on the Office’s website as soon as they are released. The website also contains case studies and statistics on the Office’s caseload, and educational material on subjects of interest to our constituents.
Critical to the resolution of complaint files and investigations is the confidentiality of the information provided by the constituents who come forward. Therefore, before any case study or report is released, identifying information is removed to ensure the protection of personal information and confidentiality of our communications. As well, summaries of completed requests for access to information are available on our website at https://www.canada.ca/en/ombudsman-national-defence-forces/information-about-office/access-information-privacy/completed-requests.html.
As the Ombudsman’s Office is part of the Defence portfolio, disclosure of the Ombudsman’s travel and hospitality expenses, contracts over $10,000 and position reclassifications are reported on the National Defence website at https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/transparency.html.
The Office of the Ombudsman proactively posts to its website correspondence between the Ombudsman and senior officials on matters of interest to our
constituency. This initiative is in keeping with the Ombudsman’s goal of promoting transparency and with the Open Government initiative. In accordance with the Directive on Open Government, correspondence is reviewed prior to release to ensure it does not contain any information raising concerns about privacy, confidentiality or security. The Access to Information and Privacy Unit conducts the
review of correspondence prior to release. Correspondence can be found on the Ombudsman website in the Letters and Statements section at https://www.canada.ca/en/ombudsman-national-defence-forces/reports-news-statistics/ombudsman-letters.html.
1.2 Mandate of the Office of the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces
The first Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces was appointed in June 1998 by Governor in Council (Federal Cabinet). The creation of an Ombudsman institution was part of a wide range of initiatives brought forth by the Government of Canada to enhance the overall fairness and effectiveness of the military justice system, enhance the transparency of internal review mechanisms, streamline the Canadian Armed Forces grievance process, and promote greater openness, accountability and transparency within the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces.
The duties and functions of the Ombudsman are set out in the Ministerial Directives Respecting the Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/policies-standards/defence-administrative-orders-directives/5000-series/5047/5047-1-office-of-the-ombudsman.html.
The Ministerial Directives confirm that the Ombudsman and the Office operate outside the military chain of command as well as outside the civilian management of the Department of National Defence. The Ombudsman reports directly to, and is accountable only to, the Minister of National Defence, who is responsible for the management and direction of the Canadian Armed Forces and of all matters relating to National Defence. However, the Ombudsman operates at arm’s length from the
Minister, preserving the Ombudsman’s independence from the executive function.
The Ministerial Directives governing the Office provide that the Ombudsman is to act, on the Minister’s behalf, as a neutral and objective sounding board, mediator, investigator and reporter on matters related to the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces. The Ombudsman also acts as a direct source of information, referral and education to assist individuals in accessing existing internal channels of assistance and redress. The overall goal of the Office of the Ombudsman is to contribute to substantial and long-lasting improvements to the welfare of the Defence community.
Under the Ministerial Directives, the Ombudsman is required to issue an annual report to the Minister of National Defence on the operations of the office. The Ministerial Directives further provide that the Ombudsman may publish reports concerning any investigation if the Ombudsman considers that it is in the public interest to do so.
1.3 Structure of the Access to Information and Privacy Unit
The ATIP unit for the Office of the Ombudsman is part of the Legal Services
Directorate and is managed by the institution’s Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator. Pursuant to section 73 of the Access to Information Act, the Minister of National Defence designated the Office’s ATIP Coordinator to exercise all powers and perform the duties and functions of the Minister under the Act as it concerns the Office of the Ombudsman. This arrangement reflects the Office’s independent, arm’s length relationship with the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces. A copy of the delegation order appears in Appendix A to this report.
A major challenge to the application of the ATIP legislation lies in the Ministerial Directives that establish the Office of the Ombudsman. One of the main functions of the Office is to conduct confidential investigations, yet the records are not fully protected by having either the status of an investigative body under the regulation or having a specific provision protecting the Office’s investigative records. A further challenge is caused by the fact that some of the information that is required by this Office to conduct its investigations is held by other parts of the Defence community that are designated as investigative bodies or who claim exemptions under the ATIP legislation. Because of the interplay of the Office’s mandate and the ATIP legislation, legal guidance is often called upon to find the balance between the application of the mandate and compliance with the ATIP legislation, whether it be protection of personal information or access to information.
The ATIP Unit is responsible for the following activities:
- Processing requests under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act;
- Responding to consultation requests from other government institutions;
- Monitoring institutional compliance with the aforementioned Acts, regulations and relevant procedures and policies;
- Acting on behalf of the Office of the Ombudsman in dealings with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, the offices of the Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner of Canada and other government institutions regarding the administration and application of the above legislation as it relates to the Office of the Ombudsman;
- Preparing annual reports to Parliament and other statutory reports and material that may be required by central agencies;
- Developing and delivering awareness training to the managers and employees of the Office to ensure responsiveness to the legal obligations imposed by both Acts and regulations;
- Conducting and providing direction to program managers regarding the completion of Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs);
- Reviewing potential privacy breaches, and taking steps to deal with breaches;
- Publishing updates to Info Source annually or as needed;
- Participating in ATIP networks such as the Treasury Board Secretariat’s ATIP Community meetings;
- Developing and implementing internal policies and office
The ATIP unit has one ATIP Officer who administers the processing of ATIP files, among other duties. The ATIP Unit also engages a consultant, on an as-needed basis, to assist with processing of requests.
2 Key Activities and Accomplishments
2.1 Education and Training Activities
Those responsible for the delivery of the Ombudsman’s ATIP services regularly attend learning activities presented by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Information and Privacy Policy Division and other learning institutions.
- ATIP staff attended (virtually) three (3) Treasury Board Secretariat coordinators and community
- A virtual presentation was delivered to all staff (57 employees) on access to information and privacy issues related to the pandemic.
- The ATIP section was also responsible for providing information to respond to four (4) Parliamentary inquiries (order paper questions) on the administration of the ATIP
2.2 Institutional Access to Information Policies and Procedures
The Office of the Ombudsman has not implemented any new and/or revised institution-specific policy, guideline or procedure during this reporting period.
2.3 Effects of COVID-19 Measures on ATIP activities
To comply with public health directives, most of the ATIP activities for the entire period were conducted off-site. ATIP employees were able to monitor requests received by email remotely, and to process and provide records in electronic format. The only activity that could not be conducted online was the collection of application fees, since the Office is not set up to received electronic fees. A mailroom employee was able to access the premises periodically in a safe manner, to deal with fees and any other correspondence received by mail. By these means, the Access to Information and Privacy section was not impacted by COVID-19 measures.
3 Statistical Report on the Administration of the Access to Information Act
This section provides information about the processing of requests under the Access
to Information Act. Appendix B provides a statistical summary of the access to information requests received and/or finalized in 2020-21.
There is not a sufficient volume of requests to be able to report on any statistically significant trends, however, this year saw a significant increase from the one (1) to six (6) requests received over the five years prior to 2020-2021. This increase in volume is tied to requests for information related to the Ombudsman and his predecessor being called to testify at Parliamentary committee hearings on sexual misconduct in the military.
3.1 Formal requests under the Access to Information Act
The Office of the Ombudsman received thirteen (13) requests for information under the Access to Information Act during the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The requests were treated formally, with many of the requests related to military sexual misconduct provided informally once they were reported as completed requests. Three (3) requests were abandoned. A total of 569 pages were reviewed.
3.2 Disposition of Completed Requests
Twelve (12) requests were processed during this fiscal year, and one (1) request carried over to 2021-2022. Three (3) requests were abandoned. Of the nine (9) requests where documents were provided to requestors, two (2) were disclosed in full and seven (7) were disclosed in part. All of the requestors received electronic copies of the records released.
3.3 Exemptions to the Release of Information
Information was withheld on the basis of s.19 (1) (personal information) of the Access to Information Act.
Since the overall volume of requests is low, it is not possible to report on any significant trends on the application of exemptions and exclusions, or on completion times or extensions.
Over the past 5 years, section 19 (1) of the Act has been invoked to prevent the disclosure of personal information when responding to requests under the Act, perhaps due to the nature of the information involved (complaints to or other activities of the Ombudsman). Other exemptions invoked over the past 5 years have included section 21 (1) (a) (b) and (c) (operations of government) and section 23 (solicitor-client privilege) of the Act.
3.4 Completion Time
The nine (9) requests where documents were provided during the fiscal year were completed within the 30 day statutory limit; no extensions were required. The three (3) requests that were abandoned were also dealt with within the 30 day statutory limit.
The number of requests is too low to draw statistically significant conclusions. However, the low volume of requests also allows every attempt to be made to meet the statutory deadlines. Over the past five years, extensions have only been taken to allow for consultations with other government departments.
3.5 Extension of the Time Limit
No extensions were sought under the Access to Information Act.
3.6 Consultations
The Office received one (1) consultation from another government institution concerning the Access to Information Act. The consultation was completed in less than 15 days. The total number of pages reviewed was fifteen (15).
3.7 Informal Access Requests
Requests for information about the Office’s policies and procedures and for general information are responded to on an informal basis where possible. During the current reporting period the ATIP Unit did not process any informal requests.
3.8 Fees and Costs
There are no costs associated with ATIP specific software as the volume of requests does not warrant the expenditure.
- The total cost assigned to salaries for the administration of the Access to Information Act
totalled $35,041
- There were no other administrative costs
- The total costs were $35,041
Forty-five dollars ($45) were collected in application fees by the ATIP Unit during the fiscal year; the application fee was waived for one (1) request, and was not collected for the three (3) abandoned requests.
3.9 Complaints and Audits
During this reporting period, the Office of the Ombudsman received no complaints under the Access to Information Act, and concluded no audits or investigations.
4 Monitoring – Access to Information Requests
The ATIP Unit uses a tracking spreadsheet to monitor processing times for access to information requests. The ATIP Coordinator reports to the senior management committee as necessary for their situational awareness. The senior management committee includes the Ombudsman, Directors General and Directors.
