About Public Safety Canada
Public Safety Canada plays a key role in discharging the Government's fundamental responsibility for the safety and security of its citizens. The Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Act 2005 and the Emergency Management Act 2007, set out two essential roles for the Department: (i) to support the Minister's responsibility for all matters, except those assigned to another federal minister, related to public safety and emergency management, including national leadership and (ii) to coordinate the efforts of Portfolio agencies as well as provide guidance on their strategic priorities. The Department provides strategic policy advice and support to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness on a range of issues, including national security, border strategies, countering crime and emergency management. While Portfolio agencies deliver public security operations according to their mandates, Public Safety Canada, in its portfolio coordination role, brings strategic focus to the overall safety and security agenda. The Department also delivers a number of grant and contribution programs to Canadians related to emergency management and community safety. In addition, Public Safety Canada's Government Operations Centre provides strategic level coordination and direction on behalf of the Government of Canada in response to events that affect the national interest. Through the development and implementation of clearly articulated policies and programs, the Department works towards the achievement of its strategic outcome: “A safe and resilient Canada”. Public Safety Canada is structurally organized into five branches: Emergency Management and Programs, Community Safety and Countering Crime, Portfolio Affairs and Communications, National and Cyber Security, Corporate Management and it also has a Chief Audit and Evaluation Executive. The Branches are supported by the Legal Services Unit. The Department has regional presence in all provinces, as well as in the North. Public Safety Canada's regional offices are a primary contact in the regions to deliver a coordinated federal response to emergencies; facilitate the effective delivery of emergency management, Aboriginal policing and crime prevention programs; and improve partnerships with other levels of government and key regional stakeholders.
About the Public Safety Portfolio
The Public Safety Portfolio encompasses nine organizations which directly contribute to the safety and security of Canadians. In addition to Public Safety Canada, the Portfolio includes: Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA); Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS); Correctional Service of Canada (CSC); Parole Board of Canada (PBC); and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). It also includes three arm's length review bodies: the RCMP External Review Committee; Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP and the Office of the Correctional Investigator. Each organization in the portfolio administers its own access to information and privacy programs, under authorities delegated to them by the Minister.
About the Privacy Act
The Privacy Act protects the privacy of all Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada regarding personal information held by a government institution against unauthorized use and disclosure. The Privacy Act also gives Canadians, including those in Canada who are not permanent residents or citizens, the right to access personal information held by the government.
Section 72 of the Privacy Act requires that the head of every government institution submit an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act during the financial year. This report outlines how Public Safety Canada administered the Privacy Act throughout fiscal year 2014-2015.
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Team
The Access to Information and Privacy Operations Unit (ATIP Operations Unit) and the Policy, Privacy and Training Unit (PPTU) are part of Public Safety Canada's ATIP and Executive Services Division within the Department's Portfolio Affairs and Communications Branch. In fiscal year 2014-2015, Public Safety Canada provided permanent funding for two positions in order to create the PPTU. The PPTU's main objectives are to refine current training products, to improve and expand Public Safety Canada's suite of training products, update current privacy policies, create new policy tools and provide privacy advice to departmental officials. As a result, the ATIP Team now consists of one ATIP Director (who is responsible for ATIP as well as Ministerial Correspondence and Secretariat Services) heading two streams of work: (1) ATIP Operations Unit consisting of one ATIP Manager, two Team Leaders, five Analysts one junior analyst, and one administrative officer; and (2) PPTU consisting of one Team Leader and one Policy Analyst.
The ATIP team is responsible for the coordination and implementation of policies, guidelines and procedures to ensure departmental compliance with the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. The team is also responsible for responding to requests made under the Acts, as well as providing the following services to the Department:
- Processing consultations received from other institutions;
- Providing advice and guidance to employees and senior officials on ATIP related matters;
- Producing the Annual Reports to Parliament;
- Delivering ATIP awareness sessions to departmental employees;
- Coordinating regular updates to Info Source manuals;
- Reviewing departmental documents, such as audits and evaluations, prior to proactively disclosing these on the departmental website;
- Developing departmental procedures for processing ATIP requests;
- Maintaining the Department's ATIP reading room; and
- Participating in forums for the ATIP community, such as the Treasury Board Secretariat's ATIP Community meetings and working groups.
Delegation of Authority
The Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, appointed July 15, 2013, signed a Delegation Order for the Privacy Act on January 23, 2014. A new Delegation Order was signed in July 15, 2014. Both current and previous delegation instruments can be found in Annex A. The current delegation order includes delegation for the application of section 70 (Confidences of the Queen's Privy Council). Additionally, the Delegation Order has changed to reflect the structure and moves from a decentralized model to a more modern centralized model which is more efficient and enables more consistent decision making. The delegated authority to apply exemptions under the Acts resides with the Deputy Minister, Associate Deputy Minister, Assistant Deputy Minister, Portfolio Affairs and Communications, the Director General of Cabinet and Parliamentary Affairs and Executive Services, the Director of ATIP and Executive Services, as well as the Manager, ATIP Operations.
New or Revised Policies, Guidelines or Procedures
During the fiscal year, two guidance tools were revised: Public Safety Canada's Guidelines for Retrieving and Reviewing Records in Response to an Access to Information (ATI) Request, and Public Safety Canada's Privacy Breach Guidelines. A new guidance document entitled ‘Identifying Sensitive Records' was introduced to assist program officials in identifying sensitive information in records provided in response to an ATIP request.
Training
During 2014-15, ATIP provided one training/information session on the guidelines for retrieving and reviewing records in response to an ATI request, as well as a guidance document on how to provide records electronically. The newly created PPTU is developing a training plan that will complement the new ATIP training suite being introduced by the Canada School of Public Service.
Monitoring Performance
ATIP monitors the processing of privacy requests by registering them in a comprehensive tracking system and uses the system to generate reports on compliance. Additionally, ATIP provides a weekly ‘Look Ahead Report' to the Executive Committee Meetings, which includes news from a privacy perspective (i.e. new policy tools, issues that impact privacy).
InfoSource Update
Info Source provides information about the functions, programs, activities and related information holdings of government institutions subject to the Access to Information Act and Privacy Act. Public Safety Canada's most recent version of Info Source contains significant updates including the addition of new Class of Records and Personal Information Bank on the International Transfer of Offenders, an expanded table of contents to include hyper-links to all the Departmental activities listed in the chapter as well as modifications to the Background, and Internal Services (Standard Classes of Records and Personal Information Banks).
Challenges/Complexities
Previously the ATIP Team at Public Safety Canada had no resources dedicated solely to policy development, privacy advice or training. As such, delivery of these services was delayed. However, since the creation of the PPTU, the ATIP team is now able to set clear objectives in terms of training, updating policies and providing guidance to program officials and various stakeholders on privacy issues.
Volume and Capacity
While the number of requests received under the Privacy Act has decreased, the complexity of the requests received remains challenging. The Analysts in ATIP have significant knowledge of the department and experience in ATIP, which provides a great breadth of understanding of the subject matter; however, significant review must take place as much of the personal information requested is intertwined with other individuals' personal information
Key Issues Raised as a Result of Complaints/Investigations
There were no complaints received this year under the Privacy Act.
Appeals to the Court
There were no appeals to the Federal Court this fiscal year.
Privacy Impact Assessments Completed During the Year
There were no Privacy Impact Assessments completed this fiscal year.
Chapter II – Privacy Act Statistical Report
Summary
In 2014-2015, Public Safety Canada received 23 requests under the Privacy Act. Public Safety Canada completed 100 per cent on time, the sixth consecutive year of over 90 per cent on time completion. The average number of days to process a request was 18.29 days.
Overall Workload Trends
Annex B provides a summarized statistical report on Privacy Act requests processed by Public Safety Canada between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The following section provides an overview and interpretation of this information.
In comparison to the past five years, the overall workload for ATIP decreased this year. The figures below include formal Access and Privacy requests, and consultations received from other institutions.
The following table provides an overall breakdown of workload by category for the past five years.
2010-2011 | 2011-2012 | 2012-2013 | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ATI requests received by Public Safety Canada | 298 | 363 | 494 | 465 | * 310 |
Privacy requests received by Public Safety Canada | 32 | 55 | 30 | 68 | 23 |
ATI consultations received from other institutions | 223 | 235 | 248 | 255 | 238 |
Privacy consultations received from other institutions | 9 | 21 | 10 | 9 | 9 |
Total workload | 562 | 674 | 782 | 797 | 580 |
* For fiscal year 2014-2015 ATIP did not include the number of informal requests received, whereas in previous years, informal requests were included in the number of ATI requests received. |
Although not captured in the above table ATIP responded to 31 Privacy Questions from the Department (informal advice) during the fiscal year.
Requests Received under the Privacy Act
The number of privacy requests remains small compared to the volume of access to information requests. Public Safety Canada collects little information directly from Canadians in comparison to portfolio agencies whose mandates are more operational in nature, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) who receive thousands of privacy requests annually
Public Safety Canada received 23 new Privacy Act requests throughout the 2014-2015 fiscal year, representing a decrease of approximately 66 per cent over the number of requests received the previous year (68). There were 2 requests carried forward from the previous fiscal year, resulting in a total of 25 requests to process during the reporting year. Of these requests, 24 were completed during 2014-15 and one was carried forward to the 2015-16 reporting year.
Extensions
Section 15 of the Privacy Act allows institutions to extend the legal deadline for processing a request if a search for responsive records cannot be completed within 30 days of receipt of the request, or if the institution must consult with other institutions. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the Department invoked 3 extensions of 16-30 days. The extensions invoked were due to required consultations and because the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with operations of the Department.
Performance in Meeting Statutory Response Deadlines
Of the 24 completed requests, 12 were completed within 15 days; a further 8 were completed between 16-30 days, and 4 between 31 to 60 days. All 24 requests were completed within the statutory deadline.
Disposition of Requests for 2014-2015
There were 2 requests received under the Privacy Act that were disclosed without exemptions applied, 10 requests disclosed in part, no requests that were exempted or excluded in their entirety, 3 requests were abandoned, 7 requests where no records existed and 2 requests where the existence of records was neither confirmed nor denied.
Consultations from other Institutions
The Department's role in coordinating with other federal institutions as well as those within Public Safety Canada's portfolio has normally resulted in the Department having an interest in the records processed by other institutions. During fiscal year 2014-2015 a total of 9 consultations from other institutions were received.
Disclosures Pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act
Paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act provides the head of the institution with the authority to disclose personal information where the public interest in disclosure clearly outweighs any invasion of privacy that could result from the disclosure, or where the disclosure would clearly benefit the individual to whom the information relates. During 2014-2015, 2 disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act , were made by Public Safety Canada.
In each case the Office of the Privacy Commissioner was notified of the disclosures.
