Annual Report to Parliament 2021–2022 on the Access to Information Act: Women and Gender Equality Canada
Introduction
The Access to Information Act (ATIA) provides Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and individuals and corporations present in Canada the right to access records under the control of government institutions. This right is in accordance with the principles that government information should be available to the public, that necessary exceptions to the right of access should be limited and specific, and that decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.
This annual report on the administration of the Access to Information Act describes how the Department for Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) fulfilled its responsibilities under the Access to Information Act during the reporting period of April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
The Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, as head of WAGE, is required to prepare an annual report on the administration of the Act. This report is prepared and tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 94 of the Access to Information Act. Furthermore, pursuant to Standing Order 32(1) and section 20 of the Service Fees Act, all fees collected must be stated in the statistical report.
Women and Gender Equality Canada Mandate
The mandate of Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) is to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. WAGE also works to promote a greater understanding of the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors. These factors include but are not limited to race, national and ethnic origin, Indigenous origin or identity, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic condition, place of residence, and disability.
The vision of WAGE is a Canada where people of all genders, including women, are equal in every way and can achieve their full potential.
WAGE works to advance gender equality through an intersectional gendered lens. Working in partnership with key stakeholders, including civil society organizations, labour groups, the private sector, other orders of government, and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, WAGE actively promotes the inclusion of all people in Canada’s economic, social, and political life. WAGE works to uphold its mandate of advancing gender equality by performing a central coordination function within the Government of Canada, developing and implementing policies, providing grants and contributions, delivering programs, investing in research, and providing advice to achieve equality for people of all genders, including women.
Organizational structure
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office is part of the Corporate Secretariat. This office is responsible for implementing and managing programs and services relating to WAGE’s administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act, as well as providing advice to WAGE’s employees as they fulfill their obligations under both Acts.
In the 2021–2022 fiscal year, the ATIP Office consisted of an ATIP manager and ATIP analysts at various levels. The ATIP manager acts on behalf of the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth to ensure that the Department’s responsibilities under the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act, and the Service Fees Act are met. The ATIP manager reports directly to the Corporate Secretary.
In 2021–2022, the ATIP office had two areas of responsibility, which included the following key activities:
Privacy management
- Provision of advice on privacy matters, both internally and externally to the Department
- Development of procedures to optimize operational performance
- Promotion of awareness on privacy considerations
- Privacy issues management
- Provision of advice and reviews of proactive disclosures
ATIP operations
- Provision of training and expertise on access to information for internal clients
- Processing of access to information and privacy requests formally received under the Acts
- Consultations with government organizations and/or third parties
- Response to calls and informal requests for information
- Point of contact to resolve formal complaints by oversight bodies
- Dialogue with sectors and other federal government institutions
- Provision of advice and guidance related to proactive disclosures under the Access to Information Act
- Preparation of WAGE’s annual reports to Parliament on the administration of the Acts
Delegation order
The Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth has delegated the responsibilities associated with the administration of the Access to Information Act to WAGE officials through a delegation order, which can be found in Appendix A.
