Mr. Speaker, we appreciate the justice minister's attempt to get the HRDC minister off the hook, but I read from the Employment Insurance Act, section 127, which states: “The following information shall be made available only to the Commission and the employees of the Department”, and that is, “any information obtained by the Commission or the Department from any persons under this Act”.
The whole section is titled “Confidential information”, yet we find out, to the shock of Canadians, that all of this is being published for the view of anyone at the click of a mouse on the web.
How on earth can the minister justify this breach of confidentiality?
