But yes, the answer is that of course it's not founded, unambiguously not founded. Statistics Canada goes to endless lengths to protect the confidentiality of the information it receives. There is no single instance where the Statistics Act had to be used against a person because he or she released such information, knowingly or unknowingly. So it's not just a question of wilful release; wilful or inadequate attention...to make sure that it doesn't happen.
