The Privacy Commissioner is involved when personal information on a third party is collected during an investigation by the Privacy Commissioner on a much broader subject. In both cases, there are provisions, in Bill C-2 and in the current legislation, that can protect some information so there are not disclosed.
Under Bill C-2, information collected during an investigation would be exempted, which the Commissioner fully supports.
With regard to personal information on third party, there are already provisions in place to ensure that this information is protected. There are mechanisms protecting this information prior to its disclosure.
So Bill C-2 would not necessarily increase this tension.
