Annual Report on the Privacy Act 2021–22 (PDF, 22 pages, 683 KB)
General
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect health, safety, security and the environment; to implement Canada’s international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy; and to disseminate objective scientific, technical and regulatory information to the public.
The CNSC’s mandate, derived from the Nuclear Safety and Control Act, involves 4 major areas:
- regulation of the development, production and use of nuclear energy in Canada to protect health, safety and the environment
- regulation of the production, possession, use and transport of nuclear substances, and the production, possession and use of prescribed equipment and prescribed information
- implementation of measures respecting international control of the development, production, transport and use of nuclear energy and substances, including measures respecting the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear explosive devices
- dissemination of scientific, technical and regulatory information concerning the activities of the CNSC, and the effects on the environment and the health and safety of persons, of the development, production, possession, transport and use of nuclear substances
The CNSC also provides advice with respect to the implementation of the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act, works in partnership with the Impact Assessment Agency to conduct impact assessments for nuclear projects subject to the Impact Assessment Act, and implements Canada’s bilateral agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency on nuclear safeguards verification.
Purpose of the Privacy Act
The purpose of the Privacy Act is to extend the laws of Canada that protect the privacy of individuals for personal information about themselves held by a government institution and provide individuals with a right of access to that information.
Tabling of the annual report

See annex A for further statistical information.
2. Practices and procedures
At the CNSC, the IT Operations and Service Delivery Division (ITOSDD), within the Information Management and Technology Directorate (IMTD), administers the Privacy Act.
Privacy requests are received by the Records Office and forwarded to the ATIP Office within ITOSDD. The CNSC also receives privacy requests through the ATIP online request portal available through the Treasury Board Secretariat website. ATIP Office staff process the requests in consultation with the appropriate CNSC directorates and with external parties, where necessary.
The CNSC has 1 full-time employee who dedicates some of their time to activities related to the Privacy Act.
During 2021–22, the CNSC continued to concentrate on providing employee training on information management, the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act and information security. The ATIP Office conducted several formal and informal training sessions for individuals, as well as for groups at divisional meetings and for functional specialists (Inspection Fundamentals training). The ATIP Office continues working with the Corporate Security section, providing ongoing training to staff on their obligations around safeguarding sensitive information, which includes personal information.
All training and awareness sessions, both formal and informal, focused on informing employees of their responsibilities under the legislation. ITOSDD offers an integrated training approach, emphasizing the connections between sound information management practices and an effective ATIP program. The ATIP Office also provides advice and support as required.
Documentation and training materials on the CNSC’s ATIP program are available through the corporate intranet along with links to other materials, such as legislation, Treasury Board Secretariat policies and guidance documents, and a range of information management and guidance tools.
Where relevant, employees are informed about the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Directive on Privacy Impact Assessment. The CNSC has implemented internal procedures to guide employees and consultants through the privacy impact assessment process. These procedures reflect changes to the Privacy Act policy suite. Governance and project management methodologies are in place within the Information Management and Technology Directorate to ensure that privacy considerations are identified and addressed throughout the entire system development cycle. The Senior ATIP Advisor and the Director of the ITOSDD participate actively in systems development initiatives.
3. Delegation of authority
The Governor in Council has delegated the authority to exercise the powers, duties and functions of the Privacy Act to the President of the CNSC. In turn, the President has designated the Vice-President of the Corporate Services Branch, the Director General of the Information Management and Technology Directorate, the Director of the IT Operations and Service Delivery Division and the Senior ATIP Advisor to exercise the President’s powers, duties and functions, with respect to the Privacy Act.
See annex B for a copy of the instrument of delegation.
4. Complaints and appeals to the Federal Court
No complaints were registered with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner during the reporting period.
5. Privacy impact assessments
During the 2021–22 reporting period, there were no privacy impact assessments completed.
The CNSC posts summaries of completed privacy impact assessments on its website and forwards copies of completed privacy impact assessment reports to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
6. Disclosure under paragraphs 8(2)(e) or 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act
The CNSC did not make any disclosures of personal information under paragraphs 8(2)(e) or 8(2)(m) of the Privacy Act during the reporting period.
7. Data matching activities
The CNSC has no new data matching and sharing activities to report for this reporting period.
8. Privacy breaches
No material privacy breaches at the CNSC were reported to the Treasury Board Secretariat or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner during the reporting period.
9. Compliance
The CNSC achieved a compliance rating of 75% for completed privacy requests closed within the legislated time frame in 2021–22. The ATIP Office has established a 5-day service standard for subject matter experts to retrieve relevant records and obtain Director General sign-off. In addition, through training and awareness sessions, CNSC staff members were receptive to their obligations under the Privacy Act.
