As the information and privacy commissioner I do have an education mandate, but the government itself also has a central group who manages access in privacy, and they provide privacy training within the government departments proper. Most of the training that I do is for the smaller public bodies, the municipalities and the agency boards and commissions, because they have no other source of training. I have a bunch of tools available, including security standards and recommendations for steps to be taken. I have tools on how to manage a privacy breach. We offer privacy breach training to any public body, including government departments. We just completed that training. I know the government does send out these warnings about spam. The IT group central within government sends out regular kinds of warnings about activities to avoid. That's certainly happening at the government level, but privacy awareness is a big issue and one that requires quite a bit of training.
