Annual Report to Parliament on the Administration of the Privacy Act - April 1, 2018

Note: Some of the content is wider than usual.

1. Introduction

The Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) presents to Parliament its Annual Report on the Administration of the Privacy Act (the "Act") for fiscal year 2018-2019 (April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2019). This report is prepared and tabled in accordance with section 72 of the Act.

The purpose of the Act is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by government institutions and to provide individuals with a right of access to that information.

In accordance with Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat requirements, this report provides an overview of the activities of AAFC in administering its responsibilities under the Act. This report should be considered along with AAFC’s 2018-2019 Annual Report to Parliament on the Administration of the Access to Information Act, which is tabled separately.

AAFC’s Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office is the focal point for access to information and privacy matters within the department. For fiscal year 2018-2019, AAFC responded to all formal privacy requests within the prescribed deadlines.

The department is committed to protecting the personal information under its control and recognizes that this protection is an essential element in maintaining public and employee trust in government. AAFC continues to exercise proactive personal information management through frequent engagement with AAFC’s ATIP office and effective risk assessment.

2. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's mandate

Our vision

Driving innovation and ingenuity to build a world-leading agricultural and food economy for the benefit of all Canadians.

Our mission

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada provides leadership in the growth and development of a competitive, innovative and sustainable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.

Responsibilities

The department’s activities extend from the farmer to the consumer, from the farm to global markets, through all phases of sustainably producing, processing and marketing agriculture and agri-food products. In this regard, and since agriculture is a shared responsibility, AAFC works closely with provincial and territorial governments.

The department is responsible for making sure that policies and programs of the organizations within the Agriculture and Agri-Food portfolio are coordinated and work to serve the interests of the sector and Canadians. The portfolio partners and agencies consist of the Canadian Dairy Commission, the Canadian Grain Commission, Farm Credit Canada, the Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal and the Farm Products Council of Canada. AAFC also includes the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency, a special operating agency that regulates and supervises pari-mutuel betting on horse racing at racetracks across Canada.

3. Access to Information and Privacy Office structure

The ATIP Office is the focal point for access to information and privacy matters within AAFC. Key responsibilities include

Developing, coordinating and implementing policies, guidelines and procedures to ensure departmental compliance with the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act;
Ensuring timely processing of all ATIP requests;
Providing senior management and all departmental staff with advice and guidance on ATIP-related matters, including privacy best practices and risk mitigation strategies, and offering training and awareness sessions to promote consistent practices across the department;
Representing AAFC in its discussions and negotiations with external stakeholders, including other government departments (OGDs), third parties, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), the Information and Privacy Commissioners of Canada, and the general public;
Conducting privacy impact assessments (PIA);
Preparing annual reports to Parliament and maintaining the department’s Info Source chapter;
Developing and updating personal information banks; and
Processing requests on behalf of the following portfolio organizations: the Canadian Dairy Commission, the Canadian Grain Commission and the Farm Products Council of Canada.

The ATIP Office reports to the Director General (DG), Communications Services, under the direction of the Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) of the Public Affairs Branch (PAB). The ADM, PAB, provides senior management support and leadership, acting as the department’s privacy champion.

The team is comprised of access and privacy policy analysts who play a key compliance and risk mitigation role for the department. Eleven positions are attributed to the office:

Director (1)
ATIP Managers (2)
Senior ATIP Policy Advisor (1)
Senior ATI Analysts (3)
Junior ATI Analyst (1)
Privacy Policy Analyst (1)
Privacy Analyst (1)
Administrative Support (1)

The cost of administering the ATIP Office (for both access to information and privacy matters) during the reporting period was $965,540, which included 9.87 full-time equivalents (or $664,412 in salaries and $263,030 for professional services).

4. Delegation of authority

Section 73 of the Privacy Act provides for the Minister of AAFC to delegate the powers, duties and functions designated by the Act.

The delegation of authority for the administration of the Privacy Act includes the Assistant Deputy Minister, PAB, the DG, Communications Services, and the ATIP Director positions, who have full delegated authority to approve exemptions under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act, in accordance with the delegation of authority instrument approved by the Minister in July 2019. The DG and the ATIP Director are also authorized to make decisions regarding other privacy matters, such as the disclosure of personal information without consent in accordance with subsection 8(2) of the Act and registering new personal information collections in accordance with section 10. Certain administrative functions are also delegated to the ATIP Managers to enhance efficiency in request processing.

The delegation of authority instrument for the administration of the Privacy Act is appended hereto at Annexes A and B.

5. Interpretation and trends of the Privacy Act Statistical Report

Annual statistical reporting on the administration of the Act was first conducted in 1983. Since 2011-2012, government institutions have completed more in-depth statistical reporting forms on the administration of the Act as prescribed by TBS. The detailed statistical report on the Privacy Act for 2018-2019 is provided in Annex C.

Privacy requests received and completed

The ATIP Office received 27 new requests under the Privacy Act in 2018-2019, representing a 20% decrease from the number of privacy requests received last fiscal year. Despite this decrease, the total number of pages processed represented a 100-plus-percent increase over last fiscal, with 19,239 pages processed. Of the 19,239 pages, 15,476 were released entirely or in part.

The following charts provide an overview of the trends related to the volume of requests processed by AAFC over the past four years.

Exemptions invoked

The appended statistical report provides details regarding the types of exemptions applied to information contained in records for completed requests. The most common exemption used by AAFC during the reporting period was section 26 (personal information about individuals other than the requester).

2017-2018	9,243	8,711
2018-2019	19,239	15,476

Extensions

The Act allows extensions beyond the 30-day statutory time frame for specific reasons, such as the volume of relevant records associated with a request or required consultations with OGDs.
During the reporting period, four requests required time extensions of up to 30 days owing to the volume of relevant records requiring review.

Consultations

AAFC must also respond to consultations pursuant to the Act from other government institutions in order to provide those institutions with recommendations regarding the release of information of interest to AAFC.
No requests for consultation were received during the reporting period.

Requests for correction of personal information and notations

No requests were received from individuals seeking a correction or notation to their personal information pursuant to subsection 12(2) of the Act.

6. Privacy complaints, investigations and audits

No complaints were received in relation to AAFC’s obligations under the Act. No investigations or audits were carried out.

7. Material privacy breaches

In May 2014, TBS launched the updated Guidelines for Privacy Breaches based on changes made to the Directive on Privacy Practices. The updated guidelines and directive establish a mandatory requirement for departments to report all material privacy breaches to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and TBS. In accordance with the Guidelines, a breach is defined as "material" if the breach "involves sensitive personal information that could reasonably be expected to cause serious injury or harm to the individual, and/or involves a large number of affected individuals".

No material privacy breaches occurred during the reporting period.

8. Privacy policies, guidelines, procedures and engagement

The ATIP Office updates its policies, guidelines and procedures as necessary to maintain and fulfill compliance requirements and to assist employees in their management of personal information.

During the reporting period, the ATIP Office continued to play an active role in assisting AAFC employees with the effective management of personal information under the department’s control. Through defined processes, the ATIP Office was engaged, on an ongoing basis, by AAFC clients seeking advice on a variety of privacy-related matters. The ATIP Office also participated in key working groups in order to proactively contribute to both departmental and community-wide initiatives. Highlights of work completed by the ATIP Office during the reporting period include the following:

Reviewed 21 statements of sensitivity in order to make recommendations regarding the development of privacy impact assessments or privacy protocols for new or modified technology initiatives.
In accordance with the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Directive on Privacy Impact Assessment, reviewed Treasury Board submissions for new programs to determine if a privacy impact assessment would be required.
Developed and/or reviewed privacy notices for the department.
Advised clients on privacy-related matters concerning sections 4 to 8 of the Privacy Act on an "on-demand" basis.
Reviewed written questions to Parliament and other documents for Privacy Act considerations prior to publication or disclosure.
Worked towards the completion of one Privacy Impact Assessment update.
Participated as a member of AAFC’s Corporate Security Working Group, whose meetings continued to provide a valuable opportunity for the two sectors to collaborate on issues with overlapping privacy and security concerns.
ATIP has reviewed a total of 29 Privacy inquiries and investigations.

9. Access to Information and Privacy training and education

The ATIP Office continues to offer access to information and privacy-related training to ensure that staff and management understand their roles and responsibilities with respect to the Acts and information management so that AAFC’s access to information obligations are fulfilled.

Courses are provided to new employees as well as to branch units when requested. The ATIP Office also offers specific training to key branches involved in the collection and handling of personal information required to support various departmental programs to ensure an understanding of their responsibilities as they relate to privacy protection. Moreover, additional sessions were developed in response to the department’s Administrative Recruitment and Development Program (ARDP), in order to provide a broad overview of administrative support staff responsibilities as they pertain to assisting senior managers in completing ATIP requests. General training was also provided to senior management with presentations delivered to branches’ executive committees.

During this reporting period, 11 formal awareness sessions were held, with 124 employees in attendance, and 2 sessions were provided in support of the ARDP program with a total of 25 participants. Two executive training sessions were also provided, with one directed to the Deputy Ministers’ Office and a second one to a Director General Management Committee meeting.

Training highlights include

An overview of the access to information administrative processes;
A definition of employee roles and responsibilities in relation to fulfilling AAFC’s responsibilities under the Act;
The principles of the duty to assist;
Responsibilities surrounding the collection, retention, use and disposition of personal information;
Privacy impact assessment and protocol guidelines;
An overview of exemptions and exclusions; and
Information management practices.

10. Monitoring timelines

AAFC uses an automated system to monitor the timely processing of privacy requests. The workflow case management tool tracks all actions and due dates, stores relevant records requiring review, maintains audit logs, promotes the use of standard templates, allows extensive search capability to facilitate analysis, and generates progress and statistical reports.

The ATIP Office kept senior management apprised of the status of privacy request processing on a strict need-to-know basis only.

11. Privacy impact assessments

AAFC uses PIAs and privacy protocols to determine whether privacy risks may be present in new or existing AAFC programs or initiatives that manage personal information for administrative purposes.

One PIA update was undertaken during the reporting period for the AgriStability program.

Summaries of AAFC’s completed PIAs are published on the department’s Access to Information and Privacy Services pages.

12. Disclosures pursuant to paragraph 8(2)(m)

Paragraph 8(2)(m) of the Act allows for the disclosure of personal information without the consent of the individual in specific circumstances. During the reporting period, no such disclosures were made under that paragraph.

13. Closing

In closing, AAFC is fully committed to the requirements and spirit of the Act. The department will continue to work proactively to protect the personal information of its employees and the Canadian public that is under its control.
