Nova Scotia’s privacy commissioner says the provincial government’s continuing lack of support for her office is a “major disappointment.”
Tricia Ralph made the comments in the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s annual report, which was released on Thursday. The 28-page document cites insufficient staffing and a quickly growing backlog of open files, and says they have not seen any improvement when it comes to shoring up inadequate resourcing.
“An unsurprisingly major disappointment this year was that we did not receive the additional permanent staff we asked for and very much need,” Ralph said in the report. “To be blunt, I am being conservative when I say that our ability to provide our mandated services is significantly hampered by our insufficient resourcing.”
