Allright. I had some one, two and three-minute questions. I'm going to choose a question that will take only one minute.
In your brief, you did not refer whatsoever to the destruction of personal information. The current act does not say much about this issue. Section 6(3) is the only place where reference is made to the destruction of information. It reads as follows:
(3) A government institution shall dispose of personal information under the control of the institution in accordance with the regulations and in accordance with any directives or guidelines issued by the designated minister in relation to the disposal of that information.
I did not consult the English version, but in the French version, the word "retrait" is used. I find it odd that this word is used in the French version in order to refer to the destruction of information. Not much reference is made to this issue and there is no obligation, as is the case in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, to ensure that documents are destroyed in accordance with the rules. A great deal of information is leaked when it is being destroyed.
What are your comments on this issue?
