OPC Access to Information and Privacy
On April 1, 2007, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada became subject to the Access to Information Act (ATIA) and the Privacy Act (PA).
Both of the Acts serve an essential democratic purpose by making government more open and transparent and by promoting accountability through the participation of individuals in the decisions of government which affect them.
