Hi
@legalfalcon
I have two questions:
1. what do s21 and s26 mean on top right of a GCMS notes?
2. Typically how long will take from eligibility and criminality passed to PPR? let's say no security screening.
Thanks.
If your requested your GCMS notes under the Privacy Act, you will see some information redacted under section 21, which are exactly the same corresponding sections as s 16 of the Access to information act.
Whereas section 26 refers to personal information, which is the same corresponding section as section 19 of the Access to Information act.
International affairs and defence
21 The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any personal information requested under subsection 12(1) the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the conduct of international affairs, the defence of Canada or any state allied or associated with Canada, as defined in subsection 15(2) of the
Access to Information Act, or the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities, as defined in subsection 15(2) of the
Access to Information Act, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, any such information listed in paragraphs 15(1)(a) to (i) of the
Access to Information Act.
Information about another individual
26 The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any personal information requested under subsection 12(1) about an individual other than the individual who made the request, and shall refuse to disclose such information where the disclosure is prohibited under section 8.
All GCMS notes will have information for security redacted under section 21. If other individuals over the age of 16 did not give a consent to have their information related, then their information is redacted under section 26 of the Privacy Act.
Hope this helps!
