Introduction
The Privacy Act (the Act or PA) came into effect on July 1, 1983. The Act imposes obligations on federal government departments and agencies to respect the privacy rights of individuals by limiting the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. The Act also gives individuals the right of access to their personal information and the right to request the correction of that information.
While not initially subject to the PA, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) and other Agents of Parliament became so on April 1, 2007, when relevant provisions of the Federal Accountability Act came into force.
The mandate of the OPC is to oversee compliance with both the PA, which covers the personal information handling practices of federal government departments and agencies, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s private sector privacy law.
Section 72 of the Act requires that the head of every federal government institution submit an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act within their institution during the fiscal year.
The OPC did not have any wholly owned subsidiaries at any time during the reporting period.
The OPC is pleased to submit its eighteenth Annual Report which describes how the OPC fulfilled its responsibilities under the Privacy Act in 2025-26.
Organizational Structure
The Privacy Commissioner is an Officer of Parliament who reports directly to the House of Commons and the Senate.
The OPC’s organizational structure is comprised of three sectors: Compliance Promotion and Enforcement Sector, Legal Services and Policy Sector, and Enabling Services Sector. The work of each sector is overseen by a Deputy Commissioner. The three Deputy Commissioners, as well as the Executive Director of Communications and Stakeholder Relations, report directly to the Privacy Commissioner. The Commissioner is also supported by the OPC’s Executive Secretariat.
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Program ensures that the OPC meets the obligations to provide access to information, including personal information, under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. The Program also prepares the annual reports required to be filed in Parliament under these two acts. In 2025-26, the ATIP Division was headed by a director supported by two analysts. Under section 73(1) of the PA, as the head of the OPC, the Privacy Commissioner has delegated his authority in relation to all access-related powers, duties and functions with respect to the application of the Act and its Regulations to the ATIP Director as well as to the Deputy Commissioner and Senior General Counsel. A copy of the Delegation Order is attached as Appendix A.
The OPC was not party to any service agreements under section 73.1 of the Privacy Act during the reporting period.
Privacy Commissioner, Ad Hoc / Complaint Mechanism
Given the PA’s silence regarding an independent mechanism under which PA complaints against the OPC are to be investigated, the Office has developed an alternative process to investigate OPC actions with respect to its administration of the Act.
For this purpose, the Commissioner’s powers, duties and functions set out in sections 29 through 35 and section 42 of the Act have been delegated to a Privacy Commissioner, Ad hoc, in order to investigate PA complaints lodged against the OPC.
In 2025-26, the Privacy Commissioner, Ad Hoc, was Anne Bertrand, K.C. Ms. Bertrand was the Province of New Brunswick’s first Access to Information and Privacy Commissioner from 2010 to 2017. In 2016, she also served as New Brunswick’s Acting Conflict of Interest Commissioner for one year. She had previously been a practising lawyer in Fredericton for more than 25 years, working in multiple areas of the law, including administrative law, criminal law, labour law and civil litigation. She served as an arbitrator on various administrative tribunals for a number of years.
ATIP Division Activities
Training employees
Although training offered to new OPC employees has moved to an online, self-paced learning platform, the ATIP Division continues to offer ad hoc training to individuals and groups.
Privacy Act Statistical Interpretation
The OPC’s Statistical Report on the PA is attached as Appendix B.
The OPC received 211 formal requests under the PA during the fiscal year, and six requests carried forward from the previous year, for a total of 217 requests. Of these, 213 requests were closed during the course of this reporting year and four were carried forward to the next fiscal year. All of the 213 requests closed during the reporting period were closed within legislated timelines (100%).
Requests under the Privacy Act
Text version of Figure 1
Requests under the Privacy Act
| Year | 2023-24 | 2024-25 | 2025-26 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Received | 101 | 127 | 211 |
| Processed | 101 | 123 | 213 |
A total of 213 requests were processed under the PA about information under the OPC’s control, representing a total of 17,932 pages of information processed. This represents approximately a 40% increase in the number of pages of information processed compared to the previous reporting period.
Of the 213 requests closed, 68 were completed within one to 15 days, 84 were completed within 16 to 30 days, 60 were completed within 31 to 60 days and one was completed within 61 to 120 days. Of the six requests carried over from the previous year, all were received in 2024-25 and processed within legislated timelines.
Of the 211 requests received this fiscal year, the OPC claimed an extension of the time limit in 61 cases. The majority of these were due to a high volume of requests received in a very short period of time. With respect to the 213 requests processed in 2025-26:
- Information was partially disclosed in 63 instances (30%);
- Information was fully disclosed in 32 instances (15%);
- In 38 instances, no records existed that responded to the requests (18%);
- In 66 instances, the requests were abandoned by the requester (31%); and
- In 14 instances, all records were withheld (6%).
The OPC also processed one request for consultation received from another institution during the reporting period, representing a total of 18 pages. The consultation was answered within 16 to 30 days.
It is quite common for the OPC to receive broad requests seeking access to personal information held by other federal institutions. In most cases, the OPC does not have any of the requested personal information under its control. In such cases, requesters are advised to contact the relevant federal institution or to consult Info Source for a detailed listing of the personal information holdings of each federal institution, and to submit requests to those most likely to have the personal information to which they seek access.
The OPC received one request for correction of personal information held by the OPC. The OPC was not consulted by any other federal institution with a request for correction.
Processing times for information requests are tracked on a weekly basis by the ATIP Division using the access to information management system.
Initiatives and Projects to Improve Privacy
The OPC continued to collaborate with stakeholders with regards to the replacement of the current ATIP request processing software. Efforts towards implementation are ongoing.
Privacy Act complaints against the OPC
During the reporting period covered in this report, the OPC received 67 complaints made against it under the Privacy Act. Sixty-four of the complaints were closed within the reporting period and all were deemed not well-founded.
- 53 complaints were delay complaints on 53 requests received within a two-week period from a single requester;
- 6 complaints were based on exemptions applied to released records; and,
- 8 complaints were for miscellaneous reasons.
Report on the TBS Directive on Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
The Directive on Privacy Impact Assessment requires that Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) monitor compliance with the Directive. Given this responsibility, institutions are asked to include pertinent statistics in their annual reports on the administration of the PA.
Two privacy impact assessments were completed by the OPC during this reporting period.
The current list of OPC Privacy Impact Assessments can be found on the OPC website.
Data Sharing Activities
The OPC did not undertake any personal data sharing activities during this reporting year.
Public Interest Disclosures
Permissible disclosure pursuant to subsection 8(2) of the PA describes the circumstances under which personal information under the control of a government institution may be disclosed without the consent of the individual to whom the information pertains. The OPC made no such disclosures under subsection 8(2)(m) during this reporting year.
Monitoring Compliance
Processing times for personal information requests are tracked on a weekly basis by the ATIP Division using the access to information management system and weekly team meetings.
Obligations under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act are incorporated into contracts and information sharing agreements and arrangements using standard clauses to ensure appropriate privacy protections are recognized.
Material Privacy Breach
No material privacy breaches occurred within the OPC during the fiscal reporting year.
Privacy Related Policy Instruments
No new or revised policies, guidelines, and procedures related to privacy were adopted or updated by the OPC during the reporting period.
