Section 108
Disposition versions
108. A body that has cause to believe that a confidentiality incident involving information it holds has occurred or that there is a risk of such an incident occurring must take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of injury and to prevent new incidents of the same nature.
If the incident presents a risk of serious injury, the body must promptly notify the Minister and the Commission d’accès à l’information. It must also notify any person whose information is concerned by the incident, failing which the Commission may order it to do so. It may also notify any person or group that could reduce the risk and send the person or group, without the consent of the person concerned, any information necessary for that purpose.
Despite the second paragraph, a person whose information is concerned by an incident need not be notified so long as doing so could hamper an investigation conducted by a person or group that is responsible by law for the prevention, detection or repression of crime or statutory offences.
A government regulation may determine the content and terms of the notices provided for in this section.
