ACCESS TO RECORDS AND PROTECTION OF PRIVACY
Bill C-25, entitled the Canadian Human Rights Act,
received first reading in the House of Commons on
29 November 1976. One of its purposes is to
protect the privacy of individuals ”to the
greatest extent consistent with public order and
well-being.” Under this bill, the use of personnel
records for any purpose not closely related to
that for which they were compiled will be
prohibited. This would eliminate them as
historical sources. Cabinet Directive No. 46,
the présent régulation on the subject, déclarés
a personnel record to be no longer exempt from
public access after its subject’s ninetieth
birthday, be he alive or dead. In addition, there
is, at présent, little or no restriction on an
organization’s use of its own records. Bill C-25,
however, places no time limit on its own action,
and the records affected by it would, it appears,
be closed forever to individuals and institutions
alike.
Historians may wish to express their views on the
bill. One way for them to do so would be to write to their respective Members of Parliament. They
might also write to Mr. G.W. Baldwin, M.Pwho has
sponsored a Right to Information Bill in previous
sessions. This bill is not currently before the
House, the government having announced that it
would introduce a measure to the same effect as a resuit of the recent hearings on Mr. Baldwin*s
proposais. The CHA secretaries would be glad to
receive a copy of any letter to an M.P. on this
matter.
