ISSN 2817-3716 – 2023-2024 Annual Report to Parliament – Privacy Act
1. INTRODUCTION
The Privacy Act (hereinafter the Act) gives individuals the right to access their personal information held by federal institutions listed in the schedule of the Act and to request corrections to that information. The Act also imposes obligations on those institutions to respect privacy rights by limiting the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
This report is prepared in accordance with section 72 of the Act, which requires that the head of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) prepare, for tabling in Parliament, an annual report on the administration of the Act.
ACOA’s mandate is to create opportunities for economic growth in Atlantic Canada by helping businesses become more competitive, innovative and productive, by working with diverse communities to develop and diversify local economies, and by championing the strengths of Atlantic Canada. Additional information is available on ACOA’s website (https://www.canada.ca/en/atlantic-canada-opportunities.html).
2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Directorate oversees the administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. It consists of a director (ATIP coordinator), an ATIP analyst and a support staff member located at ACOA’s head office in Moncton, N.B. The ATIP Directorate is responsible for processing all access and privacy requests, and for the development, coordination and implementation of effective policies, guidelines and procedures to manage the Agency’s compliance with the ATIP acts.
The ATIP Directorate also reviews various documents before publication to ensure that they do not contain information that would be subject to exemption or exclusion under the acts. During this reporting period, the ATIP Directorate reviewed records prepared in response to 105 written parliamentary questions.
The administration of the legislation within ACOA is also facilitated at the branch and regional levels. Each sector and corporate branch has a liaison officer (generally reporting to the deputy minister or an assistant deputy minister) who coordinates the records-retrieval process.
The Agency did not enter into any service agreements with another government institution under section 73.1 of the Act during the reporting period.
3. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
For the purpose of the Privacy Act, the President delegated full authority to the Vice-President, Finance and Corporate Services, and Corporate Secretary and partial authority to the ATIP Coordinator.
A copy of the signed delegation instrument for the Privacy Act is attached as Annex A.
4. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE STATISTICAL REPORT
As can be seen from the statistical reports in Annex B and Annex C, the Agency responded to 1 request under the Privacy Act in 2023-2024. No records existed for this request and it was completed within the 30-day legislated timeline. There were no active requests or complaints as of the last day of the reporting period.
The cost of administering the Privacy Act in 2023-2024 was $14,373, which comprised a portion of salary costs as well as operations and maintenance costs.
The following table shows the trend in the number of requests closed in the last 10 fiscal years.

7. COMPLAINTS AND AUDITS
