Parole Board of Canada - Annual Report to Parliament on the Access to Information Act 2017-2018

Introduction

In accordance with section 72 of the Access to Information (ATI) Act, an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the ATI Act is prepared each fiscal year. This report covers the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018. This Annual Report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Access to Information Act.

Purpose of the Access to Information Act

The Access to Information Act allows Canadian citizens, permanent residents and any other individual or corporation present in Canada the right of access to information under the control of a federal government institution. This right of access is subject to limited and specific exceptions. Decisions on the disclosure of information are reviewed independently of government. This Act complements existing procedures for obtaining government information and does not limit in any way the type of information that is normally available to the public under informal access to government records.

The Parole Board of Canada (PBC/Board) recognizes the right of access to information under the control of government institutions as an essential element of democracy, openness and transparency. The Board respects the spirit and requirements of the Access to Information Act, Access to Information Regulations, guidelines and related policy instruments.

Mandate of the Parole Board of Canada

The PBC is an agency that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Public Safety.

The Board is an independent administrative tribunal that has exclusive authority under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA) to grant, deny, cancel, terminate or revoke day parole and full parole. The Board may order certain offenders to be held in prison until the end of their sentence. This is called detention during the period of statutory release. The PBC contributes to the protection of society by facilitating, as appropriate, the timely reintegration of offenders as law-abiding citizens. The Board makes parole decisions for federal offenders serving sentences of two years or more and for provincial offenders serving six months to two years less a day in provinces and territories outside Ontario and Quebec where there are no provincial parole boards.

The PBC is also responsible for making decisions to order, refuse to order and revoke record suspensions under the Criminal Records Act (CRA) and the Criminal Code. A record suspension is a formal attempt to remove the stigma of a criminal record for people who, having been convicted of an offence, have satisfied the sentence and remained crime-free. The Board also makes recommendations for the exercise of clemency through the Royal Prerogative of Mercy.

The Board is comprised of full-time employees as well as Board members appointed by the Governor-in-Council. The PBC's national office is located in Ottawa and there are six regional offices located in: Moncton (Atlantic), Montreal (Quebec), Kingston (Ontario), Saskatoon and Edmonton (Prairies), and Abbotsford (Pacific). The Appeal Division of the Board is located in Ottawa.

Organizational Structure of the PBC to fulfill its Access to Information Act responsibilities

The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Division is led by the Director of Public Affairs, who reports directly to the Executive Director General of the PBC. ATIP is responsible for:

  • processing and responding to all formal requests under the Access to Information Act;
  • answering interdepartmental consultations;
  • handling complaints from the Office of the Information Commissioner;
  • advising senior officials and employees on ATIP-related issues;
  • producing the Annual Report to Parliament;
  • updating Info Source;
  • training employees;
  • replying to informal inquiries and coordinating and implementing policies, guidelines and procedures to ensure compliance with the Access to Information Act.

The Director of Public Affairs is responsible for administering the legislation and signing exemptions within her delegated authority. In 2017-2018, ATIP staff consisted of: one Director, two Team Leaders, one Analyst and one ATIP Clerk. All ATIP staff are located at National Office.

Requests are processed as follows: the completeness of the request is determined; the request is acknowledged; search for relevant records is conducted; records are analysed under the provisions of the legislation; other agencies/ministries are consulted, where appropriate; any necessary exemptions are applied and the applicant is provided with non-exempted material.

A tracking system is used to log all actions taken. Consultations with other agencies/ministries take place in most cases when other institutions' information is found in the Board’s files and their recommendations are normally followed.

Reading rooms are in operation in each of the five regional offices of the Board as well as at National Office.

Delegation Order

Some powers, duties and functions for the administration of the Access to Information Act have been delegated to the Chairperson, the Executive Vice-Chairperson, the Director of Public Affairs, and to the Team Leaders. For a copy of the signed delegation order, please refer to Appendix A .

PART 9 – Resources Related to the Access to Information Act

Total costs were up for resources related to the Access to Information Act from $49,710 in 2016-2017 to $50,898 this past fiscal year. The associated full-time equivalency (FTE) human resources were .70, same as last fiscal year. Salary costs were $49,917 this past fiscal year in comparison to $48,150 in fiscal year 2016-2017. Salary costs attributable to ATIP are the costs accountable for the administration of the Act. These are the salary costs of individuals working on ATI activities such as processing ATIP requests, assisting the Office of the Information Commissioner in complaint investigations, processing consultation requests from other government institutions, preparing reports, maintaining statistics and training employees on the Access to Information Act. Due to the low volume of access requests this past fiscal year, the vast majority of salary costs in the ATIP office were associated with Privacy Act activities.

Formal/Informal Interface

As reported in previous annual reports, the PBC continues to handle a large number of requests informally through its Communications Division and regional offices. The availability of information brochures and the PBC internet website greatly facilitate access to information about the Board and its programs. As well, the CCRA directs the Board to maintain a registry of its written decisions, which are available to members of the public upon written request. This allows Canadian citizens greater access to information about offenders. The CCRA provides for:

  1. A decision registry containing all conditional release decisions made by the Board since November 1992, and which is accessible to anyone who demonstrates an interest in a specific case or group of cases;
  2. Access by victims to some offender-related information, and;
  3. Members of the public to attend PBC hearings.

This law has an important impact on the disclosure of offender-related information to third parties.

Training Activities

Five (5) informal sessions on the Access to Information Act including training for the new Board Members were performed by the Team Leader. Some examples of the type of information provided to Board employees included how to assist individuals who wish to request information from the Board, determining the relevancy of records and ATIP implications for the e-file process. These training sessions were given to approximately 50 Board employees. There were no formal sessions provided.

The Board continues to have a training tool on its internal website. This training informs staff about the roles and responsibilities of each Parole Board employee in relation to the Access to Information Act. The training quiz remains on the internal website and emphasizes that all have a role to play when it comes to ensuring appropriate public access to, and protection of, government information. 

Revised PBC-related policies, guidelines and procedures

In keeping with Treasury Board’s policies, guidelines and procedures regarding the Access to Information Act, the Board has an ATIP procedural manual to ensure consistency while processing requests under the Access to Information Act. In addition, information geared towards assisting applicants in obtaining information from the Board was posted on the external website. This included information on how to make an access to information request, the timeframe for responding to access requests, the principles for assisting applicants, completed access to information requests, info source, access to information annual reports, frequently asked questions and related links.

Monitoring the time to process Access to Information requests

The Board monitors the time to process all access to information requests through the use of a computerized tracking system. Monitoring is done by the analyst responsible for the request and does not involve advising other officials. As the Board is 100% compliant with the legislated timelines set out in the Act, no additional monitoring is required.
