OPC report on pandemic-related investigations tabled in Parliament

The Privacy Commissioner of Canada's Special Report to Parliament on several pandemic-related investigations was tabled in Parliament. The report found the federal government's collection, use, disclosure and retention of personal information during the COVID-19 pandemic "complied with the Privacy Act, with a few exceptions," but also "underscored important deficiencies in our public sector privacy law which is long overdue for modernization," Commissioner Philippe Dufresne said.
