Thank you.
There is actually a Treasury Board directive that makes it mandatory for departments to develop privacy impact assessments for any project or initiative that has implications for the holding of personal data. Those Privacy Act assessments are submitted to our office, and we review them and make recommendations to ensure the protection of privacy.
Should there be, or when there will be, specific open government programs and initiatives, we expect to review a privacy impact assessment and make our recommendations as to how the protection of privacy and the goals of transparency can both be met.
