Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)

There are laws that make sure you can get Government of Canada information, while protecting people’s personal information.

Personal information

The Privacy Act:

  • protects personal information that could identify you
  • gives you the right to get copies of your personal information

Access to information

The Access to Information Act:

  • makes sure you can get information the Government of Canada controls
    • within a reasonable time
    • while protecting the privacy of others
    • while preventing harm by means listed in the Act

You can submit your request for information online using the centralized ATIP Request Service.

You can find Transport Canada’s completed access to information requests in a centralized repository.
