Additional Information

The Government of Canada encourages the informal release of information. In this regard, you may wish to consult the summaries of the Department of Justice Canada's completed Access to Information (ATI) requests. To submit an informal request for information that has been previously released, please contact the Department's Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office. Departmental information is also available through proactive disclosure, as open data as well as through the posting of reports and other publications.

To submit a formal request for access to records pursuant to either the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act, please contact the ATIP Office. Further information on formal access procedures at the Department may be found here.

The Department conducts Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to ensure that privacy implications will be appropriately identified, assessed and resolved before a new or substantially modified program or activity involving personal information is implemented. Summaries of completed PIAs are available here.
