Transparency you can trust

The Access to Information Act gives every Canadian citizen, permanent resident, individual or corporation present in Canada the right to request access to records that are under the control of federal government institutions regardless of their format.

The purpose of the Privacy Act is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information and, so, governs the federal government’s collection, retention, use and disclosure of that information. It also provides individuals (including those in Canada who are not permanent residents or citizens) with a right of access to their personal information.

Each request submitted under the Access to Information Act must specify which of the following companies the request is to: Canada Development Investment Corporation, Canada Eldor Inc., Canada TMP Finance Ltd., Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation, Canada Growth Fund Inc., Canada Hibernia Holding Corporation, Canada Indigenous Loan Guarantee Corporation, or 16342451 Canada Inc.

Each request must be accompanied by a $5 application fee (online payment, cheque or money order) payable to the company concerned. There are no fees associated with submitting a request under the Privacy Act.
