Information disclosure
As part of the Québec government's concern for transparency, it tabled the Regulation respecting the distribution of information and the protection of personal information
(CQLR, chapter A-2.1, r. 2), which lists the documents and information that public bodies must render easily accessible to citizens.
The Regulation also ensures increased protection of personal information through implementation of control mechanisms during the provision of e-services and whenever information systems are developed or overhauled. The Regulation also identifies certain parameters to be taken into consideration whenever surveys are conducted and videosurveillance technology is used. Implementation of these obligations falls under the responsibility of the person in charge of access to documents and the protection of personal information.
