Commitment 5.3.1 – We will improve access to information and the protection of privacy by:
Creating a GNWT privacy framework and management programs, so that the privacy protections in the ATIPP Act are administered consistently and fairly.

The purpose of this work is to establish a consistent approach to privacy management for the GNWT. The privacy framework will reflect current practices, resources and policies and build on existing work.

The GNWT privacy framework will set out the necessary elements that are required to establish a privacy program within a department and will include the development and delivery of privacy training through the Department of Justice GNWT Access and Privacy Office.

The Department of Justice is working with other departments to develop and implement a GNWT privacy framework. Steps being undertaken include developing the GNWT privacy framework (Milestone 1) and implementing the framework, including delivering training to GNWT staff (Milestone 2).
