Introduction
I. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act (the Act) gives Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada the right of access to information about themselves held by the federal government with certain specific and limited exceptions. The Act protects an individual's privacy by setting out provisions related to the collection, retention, accuracy, disposal, use and disclosure of personal information.
The Act requires the head of every federal government institution to submit an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act following the close of each fiscal year. This annual report is prepared and is being tabled before each House of Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Act. This report summarizes how the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has fulfilled its privacy responsibilities during the fiscal year 2015-2016.
II. About the Public Health Agency of Canada
PHAC's mission is to promote and protect the health of Canadians through leadership, partnership, innovation and action in public health.
The role of PHAC is to:
- Promote health;
- Prevent and control chronic diseases and injuries;
- Prevent and control infectious diseases;
- Prepare for and respond to public health emergencies;
- Serve as a central point for sharing Canada's public health expertise with the rest of the world;
- Apply international research and development to Canada's public health programs; and
- Strengthen intergovernmental collaboration on public health and facilitate national approaches to public health policy and planning.

Privacy Delivery and Governance
Privacy protection and the appropriate management of personal information, including personal health information, are extremely important for Canadians and PHAC. PHAC takes its role in the management of personal information seriously and has taken steps to raise awareness and implement processes to comply with the Privacy Act. These are outlined in this report.
Privacy Act requirements are led out of the Privacy Management Division and the Access to Information and Privacy Operations Division. Both Divisions are housed in the Planning, Integration and Management Services Directorate of the Corporate Services Branch at Health Canada (HC).
In June 2012, under the terms of the Public Health Agency of Canada and HC Shared Services Partnership Agreement, a shared service was established for the administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act in the two institutions. 2013-2014 was the first full fiscal year under this new arrangement, and saw the implementation of a single ATIP Coordinator model for PHAC and HC.
In 2015-2016, the Act was administered at PHAC by 1.83 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees with the support of 0.35 FTEs in consultant services, as well as some part-time and casual employees at 0.04 FTEs for a total resource complement of 2.22 FTEs.
I. Privacy Management Division
The Privacy Management Division strengthens capacity and expertise supporting PHAC programs that collect, use, disclose, retain and dispose of personal information.
The Division's key areas of work include:
- Developing corporate privacy policies, guidelines and practices that promote a culture of privacy awareness and understanding;
- Working with programs to complete, monitor and report on privacy impact assessments and privacy breaches;
- Actively promote privacy awareness in both organization through both on-line and in person training;
- Reviewing Memorandum to Cabinet and Treasury Board submissions to ensure privacy requirements are met;
- Coordinating PHAC annual input into Info Source and the development of Personal Information Banks;
- Liaising with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada on privacy aspects of new and proposed programs, legislation/regulations, policies, privacy impact assessments, breaches and complaints;
- Monitoring privacy policies, and practices; and
- Liaising with other federal departments, agencies, provincial ministries of health and other key partnerships regarding privacy issues within the health portfolio to provide informed advice to clients.
II. The Access to Information and Privacy Operations Division
The management of requests and associated complaints under the Privacy Act is led by the Access to Information and Privacy Operations Division. The Division is responsible for privacy legislative requirements pursuant to the Act such as:
- Responding to privacy requests within the statutory time frame as well as meeting the duty to assist requesters;
- Promoting staff awareness and providing training on the Act;
- Preparing the Annual Report to Parliament;
- Supporting other forms of information sharing by PHAC by ensuring the appropriate identification and redaction of personal information (e.g., documents for litigation, information disclosure, and relating to human resource issues); and
- Liaising with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, other federal departments and agencies, provincial ministries of health and other key partners regarding the application of the Act to develop relevant policies, tools and guidelines.
Delegation of Authority
On November 25, 2015, a delegation order for the Privacy Act was signed by the Minister of Health. The delegation order extends the delegation of authorities beyond the Coordinator to the Assistant Deputy Minister and Director General levels within HC's Corporate Services Branch, which provides ATIP services to PHAC. The delegation order recognizes the Director of the recently established Privacy Management Division and provides a distinction between the Privacy Management and ATIP Operations functions. Additionally, the delegation order recognizes the title of Deputy Director, a new position within the ATIP Operations Division.
The Delegation Order is attached as Appendix A.
Requests under the Privacy Act - Statistical Figures, Interpretation and Explanation
I. Statistical Report
This section includes an interpretation and explanation of the data contained in PHAC's statistical report which summarizes privacy-related activity for the period between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016 (Appendix B).
II. Number of Privacy Requests and Case Load
Requests under the Privacy Act
There was a slight increase in the number of requests received in 2015-2016: 47 as compared with 45 in 2014-2015. Although the number of requests has not fluctuated as much as in past years, the number of pages reviewed per request has declined since 2011-2012.
Case Load
During fiscal year 2015-2016, PHAC processed 39 of 48 (81%) active requests. Active requests included 47 new requests and 1 request carried over from fiscal year 2014-2015.
The number of pages reviewed relating to Privacy Act requests was approximately one tenth of the volume processed in the previous year. This dramatic drop is due in part to the fact that 49% of requests produced no relevant records, and 23% were abandoned by the requester.
Fiscal Year | Number of Requests Received | Number of Requests Carried Over | Total Caseload | Number of Requests Closed | # of Pages Reviewed for Closed Files |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2011-2012 | 47 | 8 | 55 | 53 | 133,627 |
2012-2013 | 30 | 2 | 32 | 28 | 6,275 |
2013-2014 | 57 | 4 | 61 | 59 | 4,150 |
2014-2015 | 45 | 2 | 47 | 46 | 4,086 |
2015-2016 | 47 | 1 | 48 | 39 | 360 |
Consultations Completed from Other Government Institutions
In 2015-2016, PHAC completed one consultation (97 pages) from other federal government departments, as compared to the previous year, where PHAC completed one consultation totalling only 3 pages.
Federal Institutions | Number of Consultations Completed | Pages Reviewed |
---|---|---|
Public Service Commission of Canada | 1 | 97 |
Total | 1 | 97 |
III. Disposition of Requests Completed
Completed requests were classified as follows:
Disposition of Requests | Requests Completed by Percentage |
---|---|
No Records Exist | 49% |
Request Abandoned | 23% |
Disclosed in part | 18% |
All disclosed | 10% |
All exempted | 0 % |
All excluded | 0 % |
IV. Exemptions Invoked
Sections 18 through 28 of the Act set out the exemptions intended to protect information pertaining to a particular public or private interest. Section 26 "personal information of other individuals" accounted for 86% of the all exemptions invoked in 2015-2016.
Exemptions | Number of Times Applied |
---|---|
Section 26 - Information about another individual | 6 |
Section 27 - Solicitor-Client privilege | 1 |
V. Exclusions Cited
The Act does not apply to personal information that is available to the public (section 69), nor does it apply to confidences of the Queen's Privy Council (section 70), with some exceptions. Requests containing proposed exclusions under section 70 require consultation with the Department of Justice, and potentially the Privy Council Office. In 2015-2016, PHAC did not exclude any information under either section 69 or 70.
VI. Completion Time
PHAC tracks the disposition of closed requests and the length of time taken to process them. Of the total caseload of 48 requests, PHAC completed 39 cases and carried over nine active requests to fiscal year 2016-2017.
PHAC was able to respond within 30 days or less in 31 (80%) of completed cases. Of the remaining requests, 4 (10%) were completed in 31 to 60 days; 4 (10%) in 61 to 120 days, and none (0%) took more than 121 days to complete.
VII. Extensions
Legal extensions were invoked in two cases (5%) of the total 39 requests completed.
VIII. Translation
There were no requests for translation of records responsive to Privacy Act requests in 2015-2016.
IX. Format of Information Released

X. Corrections and Notations
There were no requests for the correction or the notation of personal information during the reporting period.
XI. Costs
PHAC spent a total of $234,233 responding to requests related to the Act. Of this total: salaries accounted for $166,037 and administration costs accounted for $68,196, most of which ($56,988) was used to retain temporary help to address the volume and complexity of requests. In this fiscal year (2015-2016), elements of administrative costs including overtime ($2,921) and other overhead costs ($8,287) associated with fulfilling our obligations under the Act were incorporated in the above noted figure. Staffing for the fiscal year amounted to 1.83 FTE employees dedicated to privacy activities with the support of 0.35 FTEs in consultant services, as well as some part-time and casual employees at 0.04 FTEs for a total resource complement of 2.22 FTEs.
Training and Awareness
Training for Agency Employees
PHAC continues to offer privacy training through 'Privacy 101' sessions. The course covers a broad array of topics and highlights employee's obligations when handling personal information under the Privacy Act and Treasury Board Secretariat policies and directives. In 2015-16, four sessions of the 'Privacy 101' course were held, attended by 30 PHAC employees.
Several new training sessions were developed this fiscal including Privacy Impact Assessment Boot Camp, Integrating Privacy consideration into Treasury Board Submissions as well as tailored presentations on Privacy to specific program area. Approximately 20 employees received training in these training sessions.
A new online learning tool was launched in March 2016 and replaces an existing tool. Total on-line participation for the year was 5 employees.
Orientation and Awareness
PHAC continues to increase awareness among employees of their responsibilities under the Act by targeted information sessions such as promoting Privacy Day in January and Privacy Awareness Week in May, communication and general awareness messages through internal communication channels. The Privacy Management Division established an informal twitter account and had 130 followers as of year-end.
Recent Privacy Initiatives
The Privacy Management Division matured its privacy risk assessment approach by developing a strategy to improve the timely completion of Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA). PIAs completed in the first six months of the pilot project matched results for the last five years.
New and/or Revised Institution-Specific Privacy-Related Policies, Guidelines and Procedures
I. Privacy Management Division
Privacy Management Division, with the assistance of other departments, has completed a new privacy online training resource that covers the key requirements for the collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information, as well as specific modules on privacy oversight, privacy breach management and PIAs. The online privacy module has been launched as of March 2016 with focused testing planned for April 2016.
A Privacy Handbook that presents the legal and policy requirements in a user-friendly way was created along with a Privacy Protocol template which helps apply the requirements to specific programs.
II. Other Initiatives
Governance and Outreach
There is an ongoing focus on engagement through meetings with employees across the Department, central agencies and other government departments. For example, in
2015-16, 3 meetings of the Health Partnership Privacy Committee (HPPC) were held to promote privacy issues. As a director-level forum with representation from all areas of PHAC, the HPPC generates discussion and approval of privacy guidance, practices and tools, collaborates in ensuring that privacy compliance requirements are met, and makes recommendations to senior management.
Health Information Privacy Group
PHAC, through PMD, continues to participate as a member of the Canada Health Infoway's Federal-Provincial Territorial Health Information Privacy Working Group focused on privacy issues related to the development of electronic health records in Canada.
Key Issues Raised as a Result of Privacy Complaints and/or Investigations
I. Complaints to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
As illustrated in Part 8 of the Statistical Report (Appendix B), one Letter of Finding (Section 35) relating to a complaint was received from the OPC. This finding was in relation to a complaint carried over from the previous year.
II. Types of Complaints and their Disposition Completed
During 2015-2016, one Letter of Finding related to a complaint regarding the processing of a Privacy Act request was completed by the OPC. The reason for the complaint at issue was related to disclosure, but it was resolved in August 2015 and considered as "Not well founded".
PHAC reviews the outcomes of all OPC investigations, and where appropriate, incorporates lessons learned into business processes.
