Perhaps I wasn't clear.
The Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec has the dual mandate you mentioned, in other words, ensuring access to documents and protecting privacy. But we have two separate divisions, an adjudication division and an oversight division. As an institution, the commission has that dual mandate.
The report that led to the legislation in Quebec mentioned the importance of having a single organization overseeing both of those elements. I'll give you a concrete example that I think illustrates the importance of having one institution fulfill both of those mandates. I'm talking about consistency in the decisions that are made. In the case of an access request for documents containing personal information, the commission must determine what information is deemed personal before it can decide whether the documents should be made public or not.
In its oversight role, the commission must also determine what constitutes personal information within the context of an investigation, to identify how much jurisdiction it has and whether it can investigate a particular matter. Having two separate institutions each interpreting what personal information means could lead to conflicting definitions.
