Carole Lavallée at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I did not think I was asking such a complicated question. I will re-word it.

Under the law, the commissioner can, or cannot, disclose the identity of the respondents. The fact remains that identity is not automatically disclosed. For example, if I am arrested for impaired driving, my name will surely appear in the media somewhere. However, no one decides whether my identity should be disclosed or not.

I would like to know whether there are other laws under which the identity of the respondents is not automatically made public. Is that a better way of phrasing my question?
