About Us - Access to Information
Welcome to Industry Canada's virtual
Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office
 The purpose of the Access to Information Act is to provide every Canadian citizen or permanent resident with the right of access to records (in any format) held under the control of a government institution, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.
The Privacy Act protects the privacy of all Canadian citizens and permanent residents with respect to personal information held by a government institution and provides each individual with a right of access to that information.
Our website describes ATIP's responsibilities and provides contacts, downloadable request forms and other related information.
