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 continued its formal training and development activities in the 2017 to 2018 reporting period. Twelve (12) information and training sessions were held, attended by 80 Environment and Climate Change Canada employees. The sessions included an overview of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act as well as a description of internal procedures and associated deadlines for responding to requests. The training activities were supported by new tools to assist program officials to respond to requests.
In the latter part of 2017 to 2018, planning was also undertaken on the development of a new training program which will begin in April 2018.
