The Privacy Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. P-21) came into force on July 1, 1983. The Act governs how the federal government may collect personal information, restricts the use and disclosure of this information, and gives individuals a right to review and correct their personal information. Section 72 requires every head of a federal government institution to submit a report to Parliament on the administration of the Act within their institution during the fiscal year.
This report is submitted in accordance with section 72 of the Act. It presents an overview of activities related to the Privacy Act carried out within Environment Canada during the reporting period of April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Further, since the Canada Emission Reduction Incentives Agency was not operational during this reporting period, an Agency report will not be prepared for this period.
The Department of the Environment was established by the Government Reorganization Act (1970-71-72, c. 42) on June 10, 1971. A number of acts and regulations provide the Department with its mandate and allow it to carry out its programs. Under the Department of the Environment Act, the powers, duties and functions of the Minister of the Environment extend to and include matters relating to:
- the preservation and enhancement of the quality of the natural environment, including water, air and soil quality;
- renewable resources, including migratory birds and other non-domestic flora and fauna;
- water;
- meteorology;
- the enforcement of any rules or regulations made by the International Joint Commission relating to boundary waters; and
- the coordination of the policies and programs of the Government of Canada respecting the preservation and enhancement of the quality of the natural environment.
Organizational Structure
The Director General of the Corporate Secretariat is Environment Canada's Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator, and has delegated authority on all matters concerning Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP). The ATIP Division, which is a part of the Corporate Secretariat, is the central coordinating body for all requests received by Environment Canada under the Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act.
The ATIP Division directs all activities within Environment Canada relating to the administration, application and promotion of the Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act. It provides advice to senior management on the implementation of the statutes and prepares reports to Parliament, the Treasury Board Secretariat and senior management. The ATIP Division represents the Department in complaints and investigations conducted by the Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and in any Federal Court applications arising from ATIP matters.
The ATIP Division is currently comprised of 17 officers. In 2014-2015, Environment Canada completed the design and implementation of a new Access to Information and Privacy organizational structure in order to improve capacity and meet future needs.
Capacity Development
Environment Canada remains committed to recruiting, training and maintaining a workforce that possesses specialized skills and that will continue to provide the best possible service to both internal and external clients.
With the completion of the new ATIP Division organizational structure, Environment Canada undertook several staffing activities to fill the newly created positions. It is anticipated that these additional resources will be in place early in the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
Environment Canada is also continuing to focus on developing capacity through its ATIP Professional Development Program. The program aims to train employees over a period of three to five years through a combination of competency-based training, professional development training and work assignments. Candidates enter the program at the PM-01 or PM-02 level and graduate as Senior ATIP Advisors at the PM-04 level. Current participants are progressing through the program.
The Professional Development Program is enabling the ATIP Division to better manage increasing workloads while facilitating succession planning through the transfer of corporate memory. The program also encourages staff to remain with the Department for a longer period of time.
Delegation of Authority
Decision-making responsibility for the application of the various provisions of the Privacy Act has been formally established and is outlined in the departmental Delegation of Authority Instrument. The current Designation Orders were approved by the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment, on September 17, 2013. A copy of the designation order pertaining to the Privacy Act can be found in Appendix B of this report.
Interpretation of the Statistical Report
Environment Canada's Statistical Report on the Privacy Act is included in Appendix A of this report.
Between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015, Environment Canada received 27 requests under the Privacy Act. There were also 4 requests carried forward from the 2013-2014 reporting period, for a total of 31 active requests. In 2014-2015, a total of 24 requests were completed of which there was one request for information for which no records exist. Seven (7) requests were carried forward to the next reporting period.
Trends
Environment Canada received 7 more requests under the Privacy Act in 2014-2015 than in the previous fiscal year; this represents an increase of 35% in the number of privacy requests received.
The number of requests under the Privacy Act received by Environment Canada from 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 is found in figure 1.

Long Description of Figure 3
Figure 3 shows a bar chart which provides a visual representation of the number of pages processed by the ATIP Secretariat in processing privacy requests under the Privacy Act from the 2009-2010 fiscal year to the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
During the 2009-2010 period, 9,993 pages were processed; in 2010-2011, 24,568 pages were processed; in 2011-2012, 18,046 pages were processed; in 2012-2013, 20,698 pages were processed; in 2013-2014, 10,803 pages were processed; and in 2014-2015, 4,035 pages were processed.
In the 2014-2015 reporting period, 4,035 pages of records were retrieved and reviewed in response to Privacy requests which represents a decrease of 64% over the 2013-2014 fiscal year. This decrease can be attributed in part to the work undertaken by the ATIP Secretariat to consult with applicants in order to clarify the scope of requests to ensure applicants receive information of interest.
The number of pages disclosed by the ATIP Division in processing requests under the Privacy Act from 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 is found in figure 4.

No corrections were requested or made in the 2014-2015 reporting period.
Disclosure under Subsection 8(2)
Paragraphs 8(2)(e), (f), (g), and (m) of the Privacy Act permit the disclosure of personal information to various investigative/regulatory bodies or to Members of Parliament, or if disclosure is in the public interest.
No disclosures under subsection 8(2), including under paragraph 8(2)(m), were completed in the 2014-2015 reporting period.
Consultations
In 2014-2015, Environment Canada received 5 privacy consultations from other government institutions and organizations. All of the consultations were completed during the 2014-2015 reporting period.
Costs
In 2014-2015, the total cost of administering the Privacy Act was $142,570. This included $117,570 for salaries and $25,000 for goods and services.
Training Activities
The ATIP Division provides daily advice to departmental officials on the processing of ATIP requests as well as the interpretation of the Acts to ensure the efficient and consistent processing of all requests received by the Department.
The ATIP Division further continued its formal training and development activities in the 2014-2015 reporting period. Thirty one (31) information and training sessions were held, attended by approximately 450 Environment Canada employees. The sessions included an overview of the Access to Information Act and Privacy Act as well as a description of internal procedures and associated deadlines for responding to requests. Information and training activities will continue throughout the 2015-2016 reporting period.
In addition, Information Management awareness presentations are available online to Environment Canada employees, which include an Access to Information and Privacy module. Approximately 200 employees downloaded the Information Management presentations in 2014-2015.
Policies, Guidelines, Procedures and Reporting
Policy Framework
Environment Canada's access to information policy framework was approved in November 2012. In 2014-2015 Environment Canada began a review of its ATIP Policy Suite, this work will conclude in the coming year.
In 2014-2015, an ATIP analyst reference guide was created for use within the division. This guide is intended to help standardize internal practices and procedures in order to improve efficiency. The ATIP Division also began work on the development of an ATIP handbook to assist departmental employees in responding to requests under the Access to Information Act. This guidance document will be completed in 2015-2016.
Reporting
The ATIP Division regularly monitors the timeliness and trends associated with the processing of requests through ongoing communication with Branch and Directorate liaison contacts. In addition, a monthly ATIP update and a quarterly trends report are provided to Environment Canada's Executive Management Committee.
Publicly Accessible Information and Inquiry Points
Info Source is a series of publications containing information on the Government of Canada and on the government's data collection activities. Info Source is intended to help the public access government information and to exercise their rights under the Privacy Act and Access to Information Act.
Each year, the ATIP Division prepares updates on Environment Canada's activities and information holdings for publication in Info Source which is published on the Department's website. During 2014-2015, Environment Canada made minor revisions to its Info Source chapter. A full review of the Info Source chapter based on the Department's updated Program Activity Architecture is scheduled for 2015-2016.
Environment Canada's comprehensive website provides information on the Department's policies, its organizational structure and the means to contact Department officials. In accordance with the federal government's policy of proactive disclosure, the Department's website also allows access to internal evaluations and audits, as well as information on hospitality expenses, contracts and grants.
Environment Canada's website also has an Access to Information and Privacy webpage that provides background information on both the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. It also contains a Frequently Asked Questions section and links to access to information request forms, personal information request forms and summaries of completed access to information requests.
In order to facilitate public access to information and to comply with the Act, the Environment Canada Library has been designated a public reading room. The Library is located on the 1st floor of the Place Vincent Massey Annex, 351 St. Joseph Boulevard, Gatineau, Quebec.
Online Request Service
In April 2014, Environment Canada joined the Treasury Board Secretariat Online Request Service Pilot Project. This initiative aims to make the process of requesting government records simpler and more convenient by enabling Canadians to submit their ATIP requests and application fees online. Environment Canada received 12 Privacy requests online during the 2014-2015 reporting period. We expect the number of online requests to increase significantly over the coming year as applicants become more familiar with the online service.
Data Sharing Activities
The Department did not undertake any new internal or external data sharing activities in 2014-2015.
Exempt Personal Information Banks
Environment Canada has no exempt Personal Information Banks.
Privacy Impact Assessments
To fulfill its mandate, some of Environment Canada's responsibilities require the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. As a trusted custodian of this information, the Department uses Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), in accordance with Treasury Board policy, as a risk management tool. Although Environment Canada did not complete any Privacy Impact Assessments during the reporting period, the ATIP Division regularly provides advice to departmental employees on privacy matters.
Material Privacy Breaches
There are no material privacy report breaches to report for fiscal year 2014-2015.
Complaints, Audits, Investigations and Appeals
Applicants have the right to register a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada regarding any matter relating to the processing of a request.
During the 2014-2015 reporting period, there were no complaints filed against Environment Canada with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. No complaints were carried over from the previous reporting period.
The department reviews the outcomes of all of the Privacy Commissioner investigations and where appropriate, incorporates lessons learned into business processes.
There were no recommendations raised by other Agents of Parliament during the reporting period.
Audits
In 2014-2015, the ATIP Division participated in an Environment Canada, Audit and Evaluation Branch, review and benchmarking of privacy management. It is anticipated that this review will be completed in early 2015-2016.
Application/Appeals to the Federal Court or Federal Court of Appeal
There were no applications or appeals to the Federal Court or Federal Court of Appeal under the Privacy Act during the 2014-2015 reporting period.
