1. Introduction
Summary of the purpose of the Privacy Act
The Privacy Act (the Act), promulgated on July 1, 1983, aims to extend the present laws of Canada that protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by a government institution.
The purpose of the Act is to protect personal information by allowing individuals to consult information about them. It also imposes strict controls on how such information is gathered, used and shared.
The Privacy Act gives individuals general access to personal information about themselves held by federal institutions, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.
Annual report prepared in accordance with section 72
This document was prepared in response to section 72 of the Act, which requires federal institutions to submit an annual report to Parliament on administration of the Act. This report provides details on activities related to administration of the Act at Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED). This report is also prepared in accordance with section 20 of the Service Fees Act.
Mandate of the institution
CED is one of the regional development agencies (RDA) that make up the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Portfolio. Quebec communities and businesses—especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)— are at the heart of its action. Through the projects it funds and its networking and integration role, CED is the key federal actor in the Quebec entrepreneurial ecosystem.
CED maintains client relations with businesses and supports them in their projects. It makes strategic investments that promote competitive regional advantages and support the transition and modernization of communities. Aiming to position Quebec businesses at the leading edge of tomorrow’s economy, CED focuses on business growth, innovation, clean technologies, inclusive economy and the participation of groups that are generally underrepresented in the labor market.
Well rooted in the regions thanks to its 12 business offices, CED builds on collaboration and creating synergies with businesses, communities, supporting organizations and other levels of government to increase the quality and impact of its programs. For example, it forms partnerships to foster a concerted action by regional economic development actors and ensures a better exchange of information between federal organizations.
CED provides a regional strategic perspective that supports national priorities and works with other departments to ensure coordination of government policies and programs. Its action has a significant impact on Quebec communities and businesses, not only through its direct investments, but also because it contributes to understanding the economic development needs of the regions.

2. Organizational Structure
Access to Information and Privacy Office
CED fulfills its Access to Information Act (ATI) and Privacy Act (PA) responsibilities with an Access to Information and Privacy Office (AIPO) to process requests. Led by a new manager, to whom the AIPO reports, a Departmental Secretariat was created in 2019-2020. The manager of the Departmental Secretariat reports to the Chief of Staff to the Deputy Minister/President.
AIPO has an access to information and privacy coordinator, as well as an advisor. The coordinator, with the help of the advisor, oversees compliance with legislation, regulations, procedures and broad government trends.
Through its delegated authority, AIPO represents the Agency on matters relating to the Act in dealings with the public, Treasury Board Secretariat, the Commissioners of Information and Privacy and other federal departments and institutions.
The AIPO is primarily responsible for the following functions:
- processing requests and coordinating all attendant administrative and legal operations.
- assisting applicants.
- developing opinions, general guidelines and procedures relating to the application of the ATI and PA.
- reporting on CED’s application of the ATI and PA.
- meeting the training and information needs of CED employees.
3. Delegation order
CED’s enabling legislation identifies its head as being the Deputy Minister / President. In addition to managing the institution and overseeing management of its personnel, the Deputy Minister / President is responsible for application of the Access to Information Act (ATI).
To this end, the authority for application of the Act was delegated to the Coordinator, Access to Information and Privacy, while most administrative authority was delegated to the Advisor, Access to Information and Parliamentary Affairs.
A copy of the signed and dated delegation order is attached to this report.
4. Highlighs of the statistical report 2019-2020
Requests received and processed
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, 8 requests for access to personal information were received. No requests were carried over from the previous year. This represents a decrease in the number of requests from the previous year. Unlike the previous year when all requests were abandoned, this year 5 requests were abandoned. Since CED has been accepting on-line filing of requests for access to personal information, more requests are being abandoned because they are submitted to CED in error. The AIPO redirected and advised requesters to submit new requests to the appropriate department and to abandon those submitted to CED following an error in identifying the department by the requesters. The abandon rate represents a decrease from the eleven requests abandoned last year and continues the trend of the last three years. Of the 3 remaining requests, documents were partially disclosed in 2 of them. No records existed for the third request.
The following graph shows the number of requests for access to personal information received since 2015-2016. Excluding abandoned requests, CED processed only 8 requests for access to personal information during this period.

Table 1 - Long description
Requests received
In 2019-2020, 8 requests were received
In 2018-2019, 11 requests were received
In 2017-2018, 7 requests were received
In 2016-2017, 5 requests were received and 1 request was carried over from last fiscal year

Disposition, completion times and extensions
The Act stipulates that requests for access to personal information must be answered within 30 calendar days. Extensions are granted only in exceptional cases. The five requests that were abandoned were abandoned before the 15th day following receipt of the request. Of the three requests completed, all were completed within the time limit set out in the Act.
| Disposition | Completion Time | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 15 Days | 16 to 30 Days | 31 to 60 Days | 61 to 120 Days | 121 to 180 Days | 181 to 365 Days | More than 365 Days | Total | |

Exemptions and exclusions invoked
An exemption under section 26 of the Privacy Act was invoked in both requests where records were disclosed.
Pages processed and disclosed
In 2019-2020, requests for access to personal information resulted in the ATIP Office processing 1928 pages and releasing 1774 pages. Given the low rate of requests for access to personal information processed by CED, no significant trend can be identified.
Consultations
CED did not use any consultations in connection with the requests for access to personal information received. In addition, CED did not receive any consultations from another institution.
Cost
Expenses related to the administration of the Act amounted to $12,036 in 2019-2020. This amount includes $11,752 in salaries for the equivalent of 0.14 full-time employees. An amount of $284 was also spent on travel, software rental, supplies and translation.
Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic measures on the institution's ability to fulfill its responsibilities under the Privacy Act
The measures taken by CED in connection with the VIDOC-19 pandemic, such as telework, did not have an impact on the organization's ability to fulfill its responsibilities under the Privacy Act.
Statistical Report
A copy of the 2019-2020 statistical report on the administration of the Privacy Act as well as the supplementary statistical report on applications affected by COVID-19 are appended to this report.
5. Training and awareness
In 2019-2020, a training session was delivered to 16 CED employees. In addition, privacy was discussed at the orientation session for students and new employees, which was attended by 42 people. The AIPO is always available to provide employees whose duties require some knowledge of access to information with specific training.
As of 2017-2018, the Manager of the Corporate Secretariat (formerly CED's Access to Information and Privacy Co-ordinator) became an associate faculty member of the Canada School of Public Service. In this capacity, he delivered training entitled "Access to Information in the Government of Canada" and "Privacy in the Government of Canada" during the reporting period.
6. Policies, guidelines, procedures and initiatives
CED did not implement any new policies, guidelines, procedures or initiatives during the reporting period.
7. Summary of key issues and actions taken on complaints or audits
Complaints
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, CED did not receive any complaints related to a request for access to personal information.
Audits
CED was not the subject of any audit over the reporting period.
8. Monitoring compliance
Monitoring of the processing time
Since 2011, the AIPO has equipped itself with software to manage and track access to information requests and privacy requests. This program makes it easier to follow every activity and task related to any request and serves as a tool to monitor processing time to comply with the provisions on timeframes as set out in the Act.
Requests for corrections
Requests to correct personal information are processed by the AIPO and recorded in an internal tracking system. No requests to correct personal information were received during the reporting period.
9. Material Privacy Breaches
There was no material privacy breach that occurred over the reporting period.
10. Privacy Impact Assessments
No privacy impact assessment was conducted over the reporting period.
11. Public interest disclosures
During fiscal year 2019-20, no information was disclosed pursuant to subsection 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act.
