    Introduction

    The Privacy Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter P-21, 1985) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983. It extends the present laws of Canada that protect the privacy of individuals, and provides individuals with a right of access to personal information about themselves. It also protects the privacy of individuals by denying third parties access to personal information relating to them and enabling them to exercise strict control over the collection, disclosure and use of such information. Necessary exceptions should be limited and specific.

    Bill C-58, An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other ActsFootnote 1 received royal assent on June 21, 2019. This resulted in the most significant amendments to the Act since it came into force in 1983.

    The new legislation amends the Privacy Act to, among other things:

    • create a new exception to the definition of “personal information” with respect to certain information regarding an individual who is a ministerial adviser or a member of ministerial staff
    • authorize government institutions to provide to other government institutions services related to requests for personal information
    • expand the Governor in Council’s power to amend the schedule to the Act and to retroactively validate amendments to that schedule.

    This annual report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Privacy Act and describes how Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan) administered its responsibilities for the reporting period.

    Departmental mandate

    PacifiCan’s mandate is to support the growth and diversification of British Columbia’s economy and advance the interests of the region in national economic policy, programs, and projects.

    PacifiCan is overseen by the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada.

    The Agency operates under the provision of the Western Economic Diversification Act, which came into force on June 28, 1988. An Order in Council created PacifiCan, by way of the Public Service Rearrangement and Transfer of Duties Act2.

    PacifiCan achieves its mandate by working closely with clients and partners across the province in its four roles as investor, advisor, pathfinder, and convenor. The agency’s clients are businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and communities such as Indigenous groups, women-led businesses, academic institutions, municipalities, business accelerators, and incubators.

    Administration of the Act

    Privacy program and structure

    PacifiCan employs 215 individuals in British Columbia and in Ottawa, including economists, commerce officers, and policy analysts. Specialists in such areas as communications, corporate administration, financial management, human resources, information management & technology, and procurement provide the policy and programs analysts with support.

    PacifiCan has offices in British Columbia in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Prince George, Surrey, Cranbrook, Fort St. John, Prince Rupert, and Campbell River, and is establishing its headquarters in Surrey, BC. The agency also has an office in Ottawa.

    Privacy and personal information services are currently provided to PacifiCan by way of an Internal Services Agreement (ISA) with Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan). Costs for these services are reimbursed to PrairiesCan.

    As per the August 2021 Order in Council, the President of PacifiCan is the head of the organization for the purpose of the Privacy Act.

    PacifiCan's ATIP Coordinator is supported by a Corporate Secretariat Advisor and three ATIP analysts from the PrairiesCan ATIP Centre of Expertise (ACoE), in Edmonton, Alberta. The Corporate Secretariat Advisor and ATIP analysts process all access to information and privacy requests.

    The ACoE administers the ATIP programs and services for PacifiCan including:

    • preparing files for decision on the disposition of access and privacy requests and responding to all requests submitted under the Acts;
    • promoting awareness of the legislation to ensure departmental responsiveness to statutory obligations;
    • monitoring and advising on the Agency's compliance with the Acts, regulations, procedures, and policies; and
    • providing advice and recommendations to the Agency when dealing with the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Information Commissioner, the Privacy Commissioner, and other government organizations.

    Delegation of Authority

    The current delegation order (Annex C) was issued May 16, 2022, in accordance with subsection 73(1) of the Privacy Act. The Acting President of the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada delegated full powers, authorities, and responsibilities to the:

    Vice President, Programs and Partners, and

    Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator.

    The ACoE oversees the development, coordination and implementation of policies, guidelines, systems, and procedures to manage the Agency's compliance with the Acts. Compliance is also facilitated by an ATIP Liaison Officer in Surrey, who works with the ACoE concerning requests and enquiries.

    The ATIP Liaison Officer works with the business and program areas to search and retrieve records that are responsive to privacy requests received under the Privacy Act. The ACoE, however, is responsible for the privacy and personal information services for PacifiCan, including the provision of advice and recommendations concerning privacy matters..

    Policies, procedures and business processes

    To ensure that Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) privacy-related policies and directives are respected and implemented, the ACoE regularly reviews its various internal guidelines, procedures, and business practices. No new or revised institution-specific policies, guidelines, procedures, or initiatives related to privacy were implemented at PacifiCan during the reporting period.

    The ATIP unit monitors its compliance with request deadlines via AccessPro software. A weekly report is created and disseminated, on a need-to-know distribution list. It discloses all open and outstanding privacy files and their respective status. It includes information on investigations by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada along with other privacy processes underway. No personal information is included in the weekly report.

    Statistics and performance

    PacifiCan completed eight privacy requests in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. All of them were received at the end of the previous fiscal year and carried over within legislated timelines.

    The percentage of requests that were closed within legislated timelines for the 2022-2023 fiscal year is one hundred percent. As well, one hundred percent of the eight privacy requests completed were disclosed in part.

    All eight of the privacy requests were completed within legislated time limits. No privacy requests were carried over to the subsequent fiscal year.

    A thirty-day extension was taken for all eight privacy requests in the 2022-2023 fiscal year as per paragraph 15(a)(i) – interference with operations. All were completed in less than 60 days.

    No privacy consultations were received or completed during the reporting period.

    No disclosures were made under paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act in the reporting period.

    No material privacy breaches were reported in the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

    No new or revised institution-specific policies, guidelines, and procedures related to privacy were implemented in the institution during the reporting period.

    PacifiCan's ability to fulfill its Privacy Act responsibilities was not impacted by COVID-19 related measures. ATIP operations continued without interruption for the 2022-2023 reporting period.

    PacifiCan did not complete any Privacy Impact Assessments during the reporting period.

    An intiative was undertaken to update PacifiCan's Personal Information Banks (PIBs). 2022-23 was PacifiCan's first full year of operation. Forty-five (45) institution specific PIBs were created and registered.

    Complaints

    Complaints were submitted to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) for the eight privacy requests completed by PacifiCan during this reporting period. All the complaints allege that PacifiCan inappropriately invoked exemptions under sections 12(1) and 26 of the Privacy Act, and that PacifiCan failed to disclose all the information sought (missing records).

    All requests from the OPC for information and documentation regarding the eight complaints have been fulfilled. The OPC continues to investigate and PacifiCan will continue to assist.

    Operational costs associated with adminstering the Act

    PacifiCan’s costs for administrating the Privacy Act is based on a percentage of costs incurred by the ACoE plus the cost for administrative services for PacifiCan.

    There was a cost of $2175 for professional services and $1000 salaries to administer the Privacy Act for PacifiCan.

    A total of 0.02 of an FTE was calculated as having been allocated to PacifiCan's privacy program.

    Total costs amount to $3,175.
