Annual Report on the Access to Information Act—2017–18
Annual Report on the Access to Information Act—2017–18
Introduction
When the Federal Accountability Act was enacted in 2006, amendments were made to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act, both of which came into force in 1983. The scope of application of these laws was expanded, and the Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) became subject to the Access to Information Act.
The Access to Information Act gives Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and any person and corporation present in Canada, the right to access information contained in government records, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.
Section 72 of the Act requires the head of each government institution to prepare an annual report on the administration of the Act within the institution and to submit the report to Parliament.
This annual report on the administration of the Access to Information Act at the OAG describes how we administered our responsibilities under the Act during the 2017–18 fiscal year.

Who we are
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) audits federal government operations and provides Parliament with independent information, advice, and assurance regarding the federal government’s stewardship of public funds. While the OAG may comment on policy implementation in an audit, it does not comment on policy itself.
We are in the business of legislative auditing. We conduct
- performance audits of federal departments and agencies;
- annual financial audits of the government’s financial statements;
- special examinations and annual financial audits of Crown corporations; and
- audits of the governments of Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
Since 1995, the OAG has also had a specific environmental and sustainable development mandate, which was established through amendments to the Auditor General Act.
The Auditor General of Canada is the designated head of the institution for the Access to Information Act as well as the Privacy Act. Pursuant to section 73 of both acts, the Auditor General has delegated full authority to the Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator.
Access to Information and Privacy Office
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Coordinator is accountable for the development and implementation of effective policies, guidelines, systems, and procedures to ensure that the Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) meets its responsibilities under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.
The ATIP Office at the OAG consists of
- one full-time ATIP Coordinator;
- two full-time employees from the Legal Services group, who help the ATIP Office on a part-time, ad hoc basis; and
- one full-time legal counsel, who helps the ATIP Office on a part-time, ad hoc basis.
The main activities of the ATIP Coordinator include
- monitoring compliance with the acts, regulations, and relevant procedures and policies;
- processing requests under both acts;
- developing and maintaining policies, procedures, and guidelines to ensure that the OAG respects the acts;
- promoting awareness of the acts within the OAG to ensure that employees are aware of their responsibilities;
- preparing annual reports to Parliament and other statutory reports, as well as other material that may be required by central agencies;
- representing the OAG in dealings with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, the information and privacy commissioners, and other government departments and agencies to determine how the acts apply to the OAG; and
- helping the OAG meet its commitments to ensure openness and transparency, through proactive and informal disclosure of information.

Highlights and accomplishments for the 2017–18 fiscal year
One hundred percent compliance
No formal Access to Information Act requests passed their legislative deadlines during the 2017–18 fiscal year. The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) is proud to have maintained 100 percent compliance with legislated deadlines.
Challenging Access to Information Act request
In the 2017–18 fiscal year, the OAG received a request for all records related to contracts that were issued between 1 January 2016 and 28 March 2017, the date that the request was received by the OAG. The OAG initially estimated that the request applied to approximately 980 contracts.
The request was ultimately abandoned. However, by the time that it was, employees had dedicated 2,716 hours to processing the request, costing a total of $177,432.
Training
The OAG requires that all employees attend mandatory Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) training, separate from other information sessions or other forms of training. This ATIP-specific training focuses on employee requirements when the OAG receives a request, as well as a significant training component related to personal information handling and the legislation, policies, directives, and best practices related to privacy in the Canadian public sector.
During the reporting period, two training sessions were given, with a total attendance of 198.

| Received during the reporting period: | 18 |
| Outstanding from the previous period: | 1 |
| Total: | 19 |
Sources of requests received
During the reporting period, 13 requests were submitted by members of the public, 4 requests were submitted by businesses, and 1 request was submitted by a member of the media.
Disposition of completed requests
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) finalized 11 formal requests in the reporting period:
- 1 request was disclosed in part,
- 4 requests were withheld in their entirety due to exemptions,
- 3 requests could not be processed because no relevant records existed, and
- 3 requests were abandoned by the requester.
Exemptions invoked
Of the 5 requests in which exemptions were invoked,
- section 16.1(1)(a) was invoked in 2 requests, and
- section 16.5 was invoked in 3 requests.
Exclusions cited
The OAG did not invoke any exclusions for the reporting period.
Extension of time limits
Section 9 of the Access to Information Act provides for the extension of the statutory time limits if consultations are necessary, or if a large number of records have been requested and processing the request within the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with OAG operations.
Of the 5 requests responded to during the reporting period, 3 were extended for 30 days or less pursuant to section 9(1)(a).
Completion time
Of the 11 requests completed during the reporting period,
- 8 were completed by the original 30-day deadline, and
- 3 required up to an additional 30 days.
Method of access
Where the relevant documents were given in part, electronic copies were provided for 1 request.
Fees
The fees collected during the reporting period totalled $35. The OAG complies with the Treasury Board’s Interim Directive on the Administration of the Access to Information Act and does not charge search or production fees, and waives the application fee when requested. During the reporting period, the $5 application fee was waived in two instances.
Costs
The costs directly associated with administration of the Access to Information Act for the reporting period are estimated to be $266,286 for salaries and $1,197 for goods and services, for a total of $267,483. For more information on the cost of salaries, please see the Monitoring section of this report.
Complaints and investigations
The OAG received no new complaints in the reporting period. The OAG has not received any complaints since the 2011–12 fiscal year.
Institution-specific policies, guidelines, and procedures
The OAG did not revise policies, guidelines, or procedures—or implement new ones—during the 2017–18 fiscal year.
Monitoring
The OAG uses time-code (product-code) management software, essentially a digital “timesheet,” to track all audit and audit-service activities, including
- management of the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office,
- management of access to information cases (treatment of formal Access to Information Act requests and consultations),
- management of privacy cases (treatment of formal and informal Privacy Act requests), and
- privacy impact assessments.
Whenever employees or contractors of the OAG participate in any ATIP-related activity, they must track the time they spend on the activity by entering the number of hours or partial hours into the product-code management software. These records are monitored on a regular basis for human resource and financial purposes. Any employee with access to the OAG network can use the OAG’s INTRAnet (internal Internet) to view this data.
As reflected in part 9.2 of the Appendix, the OAG dedicated 1.75 person-years to ATIP-related activities.
