Introduction
The Access to Information Act (ATIA – the Act) gives Canadians the broad legal right to information contained in federal government records.
The Act provides government institutions with 30 days to respond to access requests. Additional time may be granted if there are many records to examine, other government agencies to be consulted, or third parties to be notified. Access rights are subject to specific and limited exemptions.
This annual report to Parliament is submitted by the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada (the Commissioner) pursuant to section 72 of the ATIA. On April 15, 2007, the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSDPA) came into force. It created the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada (the Office). The new legislation replaced the Treasury Board Policy on the Internal Disclosure of Information Concerning Wrongdoing in the Workplace.
The Office is mandated to establish a safe, independent and confidential process for public servants and members of the public to disclose potential wrongdoing in the federal public sector. The Office also deals with reprisal complaints from public servants coming from their disclosures or their participation in related investigations.
The Commissioner is an independent Agent of Parliament.
Description of the Institution’s Structure
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Coordinator is the only employee dedicated, on a part-time basis, to fulfil the Access to Information Act responsibilities. The Coordinator is assisted by a contractor for the processing of the requests, for training and education, and for reporting activities.
Delegation
The Commissioner, as the head of the government institution, has designated, pursuant to section 73 of the ATIA, the persons holding the positions set out in the delegation order, or the persons occupying on an acting basis those positions, to exercise the powers, duties or functions of the Commissioner as specified therein. A copy of the delegation order is included in Appendix A for the past and current ATIP Coordinator.
Interpretation of the Annual Statistical Report
Appendix B provides a statistical report on the ATIA applications processed by the Office between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024.
Two formal requests were received via the online application and closed during this reporting period. A total of 122 pages were processed as e-records for these. No records were released for these two requests, however, since they were abandoned. One informal request was also received by email and closed during this reporting period. No records were released for this request. All these requests were processed within the legal timeframe and the only exemption applied was section 16(1)(c) to the informal request. The requests originated from the Public.
The application fee was collected for each formal request but no translations were required to respond to these.
No requests of a vexatious, bad faith or abusive of right nature were received.
Two consultations consisting of 8 pages in total were received from other federal government institutions and processed within the allocated timeframe. No exemptions were recommended to be applied under the ATIA. No consultation requests were received from other sources including consultations on Cabinet Confidences.
One Section 32 Notice of Intention to Investigation was received from the Office of the Information Commissioner but none for judiciary recourse.
The Office spent some $2,000 in resources administering the ATI Act.

Interpretation of the Supplemental Statistical Report
Appendix C provides a statistical report on the COVID-19 measures applied by the Office between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024.
Education and Training Activities
One formal briefing session covering the provisions of the ATIA was delivered to PSIC employees as a group during this reporting period. Advice was also provided on an individual basis as required.
Overview of New or Revised Institutional Policies and Procedures
No new or revised institutional policies or procedures were implemented during this reporting period which would have had an impact on access to information.
One complaint was received from the Office of the Information Commissioner during this reporting period.
Though no formal time monitoring was conducted during this reporting period, the Office uses a case management system to track processing times regarding access to information requests. This tool assists the Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator and the contractor dedicated to this function in monitoring timelines to ensure compliancy with legislated deadlines.
