Audit of privacy practices : final report.: H14-556/2012E-PDF
"The focus of this audit was on the privacy practices at Health Canada and adherence to the Privacy Act which provides the legal framework for the federal government’s collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Health Canada collects, uses and retains more personal information than most any other federal department. The Department also stands out for the type and sensitivity of personal information under its control. Protection of personal information is a shared responsibility between the Access to Information and Privacy Division (ATIP) and programs within the branches. ATIP plays a leading role in the development and support of privacy practices across the Department while the branches have day-to-day responsibility for the protection and handling of personal information"--Executive summary, page i.
