Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's been some very high profile reporting on information breache,s related to this government recently. You look in old filing cabinets, old desks, and find names, dates of birth, addresses, contact information, employment history, financial and credit card information, and health care numbers. So – and, also, we hear other reports of staff snooping in medical records. The state of our information, our records system, our management of this information, seems to be in disarray.
Can the Minister of Justice, who has the access and privacy office within his department, explain why this is continuing to happen? Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Range Lake. Minister of Justice.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a very sensitive area, and I'm unable to respond to the Member at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I know it's sensitive which is why I'm concerned about it and, certainly, the Information and Privacy Commissioner is concerned about it as well. So there's been a number of recommendations in these reports, including a clean desk policy when these things get done. Is the Minister working on implementing the recommendations of the privacy commissioner and implement things like clean desk policies, so this does not happen in the future? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department is reviewing the recommendations of the report, and I can't specifically answer that question at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister of Justice. Final supplementary. Member from Range Lake.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does the Minister know when he'll be able to answer that question? Because I think the public would like to know. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will follow up with the department and provide that information to the Member within -- before the end of the week. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister of Justice. Oral questions. Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.
