Budget, Annual Report & Service Plan

The budgets of the independent officers of the Legislature, including the Information and Privacy Commissioner, are decided by the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, a committee of the Legislature.

Each fall, the Commissioner presents a proposed budget and service plan to the committee. This presentation takes place at the Legislature and is recorded and transcribed in Hansard.

The Information and Privacy Commissioner is mandated by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) and the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) to publish an annual report, which is tabled as a public document in the BC Legislature.

The annual report describes the successes and challenges of the previous year, and provides statistics on the casework completed by our Office. The report also describes our public education and outreach activities, and our overall approach to enforcement of BC's access and privacy laws.

The following annual reports are available in PDF format. Contact us if you would like to request a paper copy of our most recent annual report, or if you are looking for annual reports published prior to 2006.
