I think our public service is very well informed. It is well equipped to provide information and submissions, while bearing in mind privacy issues. This is not too onerous.
People know that some of their personal information is recorded in documents belonging to various departments. In my own experience, I have regular dealings with various government bodies. In exchanging correspondence or documents, everyone is aware of the need to apply the act as it stands.
Earlier I said that the act is not particularly complex. It really is not. You have to pay attention to certain nuances but, in practice, you know which parts of a document contain personal information. We have to rely on the good judgment of each public servant, who can consult experts if necessary to ask whether they can disclose that bundle of information.
