Introduction
The Access to Information Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter A-1, 1985) came into force on July 1, 1983. It extends the present laws of Canada to provide access to information under the control of the Government of Canada.
Bill C-58, An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts 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 improves the way government information is provided to Canadians by:
- giving the Information Commissioner the power to make binding orders in relation to access to information requests, including the release of government records
- requiring institutions to proactively publish specific information known to be of interest to the public, without the need for a request
- allowing government institutions within the same ministerial portfolio to work together to process requests more efficiently
- eliminating all fees apart from the $5 application fee
The Access to Information Act balances access to government information with exemptions and exclusions that protect important democratic values such as the need for the public service to provide full, free and frank advice to ministers, the protection of the confidentiality of Cabinet deliberations, the protection of personal information, and national security considerations.
In accordance with the principles that government information should be available to the public, the right to access is balanced against the legitimate need to protect sensitive information and permit effective functioning of government. Necessary exceptions should be limited and specific.
This annual report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 94 of the Access to Information Act and describes how Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan) administered its responsibilities for the reporting period.
Administration of the Act
Departmental mandate
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 Minister of International Development 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 Act1 , and transferred what was the BC Regional Office of WD, including its complement of executives, managers and staff, to PacifiCan.
PacifiCan's mandate allows the agency to deliver a wide range of initiatives across British Columbia and make strategic investments to build on regional competitive advantages. Its presence enables the cultivation of strong partnerships with business and community organizations, researchers, academia, Indigenous peoples, provincial governments and municipal governments. These connections help PacifiCan reflect the region's perspectives in national decision-making.
Departmental Structure
PacifiCan is the former BC regional office of Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD). WD served the four western provinces: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
On August 06, 2021, two separate organizations were created, to replace Western Economic Diversification Canada:
- Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan)
Serves British Columbia
- Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan)
Serves Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
PacifiCan employs 137 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 is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and will establish headquarters in Surrey with additional service locations in Victoria, Kelowna, Prince George, Surrey, Cranbrook, Fort St. John, Prince Rupert and Campbell River. The agency will also have an office in Ottawa.
Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)
ATIP 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 Access to information Act.
PacifiCan's ATIP Coordinator is supported by a Corporate Services Advisor and three ATIP Officers from the PrairiesCan ATIP Centre of Expertise, in Edmonton, Alberta. The Corporate Services Advisor and ATIP Officers process all access to information and privacy requests.
The ATIP Centre of Expertise is responsible for the implementation and management of 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 Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act;
- 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.
Other ATIP-related activities undertaken by the ATIP Centre of Expertise in 2021-2022, include:
| Activity | Total* | |
|---|---|---|
| Parliamentary questions * (PQ) | Full departmental process (data collection, research, compositions, correspondence, review and routing). | 7 |
| Parliamentary Questions * | ATIP review for other program areas, and the provision of advice and consultations on the PQ process. | 7 |
| Proactive disclosure | Review lists of briefing materials prepared for the Minister and Deputy Minister. | 24 |
* The category of Parliamentary Questions also includes Senatorial Questions. These statistics are categorized according to whether the ATIP unit completes the entire departmental process, or whether they only provide reviews and recommendations for other program areas. No PQ is entered into both categories or otherwise counted twice.
Statistics and information regarding PrairiesCan are contained in a separate report. All ATIP data from April 01, 2021 to August 05, 2021 is accounted for in PrairiesCan's annual report. Care was taken to ensure the accurate allocation of statistics and data between PrairiesCan and PacifiCan.
Delegation of Authority
The head of the institution did not delegate any of their powers or responsibilities under the Act during this reporting period.
The ATIP Centre of Expertise is accountable for 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 Vancouver, who works with the ATIP Centre of Expertise 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 ATIP Centre of Expertise, 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 privacy-related policies and directives are respected and implemented, the ATIP Centre of Expertise regularly reviews its various internal guidelines, procedures and business practices. No new, revised institution-specific policies, guidelines, procedures, or initiatives related to privacy and personal information were implemented at PacifiCan during the reporting period.
The ATIP unit monitors its compliance with request deadlines via a software solution (AccessPro). A weekly report is created and disseminated, on a need-to-know distribution list, up to the Vice President level. It discloses all open and outstanding privacy files and their respective status. It includes 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.
Training and awareness
The ATIP unit has provided ATIP process awareness training for the Agency's Parliamentary Affairs staff.
This training is process-centric. It's primary focus is the departmental administrative processes which require specific tasks be completed, by specific positions, in a specified time. All the relevant legislative requirements, concerning those processes are explained and discussed.
Statistics and performance
The statistics compiled for this reporting period include Access to Information data from the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan) for the period August 06, 2021 to March 31, 2022 inclusive.
The statistics compiled for this reporting period, as described above, shall be described, cited and understood as belonging to PacifiCan, for this report.
PacifiCan completed twenty access to information requests in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
Ninety-five percent of those were completed within their legislated timeline.
| 1-30 | 31-60 | 61-120 | 121-180 | 181-365 | >365 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 20 |
Two extensions were taken to accomodate internal consultations as per paragraph 9(1)(b) of the Access to Information Act.
No access to information requests were carried over from previous reporting periods.
No consultations were received during the reporting period.
No complaints have ever been submitted against PacifiCan with the Information Commissioner nor the Privacy Commissioner.
PacifiCan's ability to fulfill its Access to Information Act responsibilities was not impacted by COVID-19 related measures. ATIP operations went on without interruption for the 2021-2022 reporting period.
Fees collected
PacifiCan collected $45 in Access to Information application fees during this reporting period.
$70 worth of fees were waived.
There has been a trend where media outlets will make a single request for multiple briefing notes and just submit a single $5 fee. In those cases, PacifiCan creates a file for each briefing note requested, and treats them as separate requests. The fee is applied to the first briefing note on their list and the rest are waived.
Operational costs associatied with administering the Act
PacifiCan’s costs for administrating the Access to Information Act is based on a percentage of all costs incurred by the ATIP Centre of Expertise plus the cost for administrative services and training specific to PacifiCan.
A total of 0.9 of an FTE was calculated as having been allocated to PacifiCan's Access to Information program. Total costs, including $455 in goods and services, amount to $73,976.
