Acting Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner, Diane Aldridge, has submitted her office’s 2013-2014 Annual Report to the Legislative Assembly.

Aldridge stated: “‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’. This is in no small part due to the fact that our office yet again received numerous complaints, as with previous years, regarding employee snooping, misdirected faxes and mail (email and snail), and lost or stolen mobile devices or records.”

Aldridge also noted: “I encourage public bodies and trustees to learn from the experience of others and make the necessary improvements to ensure better compliance with our access and privacy laws.”

The Annual Report also includes a summary of the 23 case reports (both access denial and privacy complaints) issued by the office in 2013-2014 and the response of the government institutions, local authorities and trustees named in each of those reports.
