The PBC refuses to process requests for record suspension information
Parole Board of Canada
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) investigated two complaints against the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) concerning access to record suspension information. The OPC found that the PBC improperly refused to process access requests submitted by a third-party screening company and also improperly required requesters to provide excessive identification information. The OPC concluded that the PBC's reliance on paragraph 22(1)(b) of the Privacy Act was not justified in most cases, and its identification requirements went beyond what was necessary.
