This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post of Information Commissioner is one of those identified as eligible for pre-appointment hearings by the Justice Committee. The current Commissioner, Richard Thomas, is due to step down in June 2009 after five years in post, and the preferred candidate to succeed him is Christopher Graham, Director General of the Advertising Standards Authority. The Committee was invited by the Ministry of Justice to report on Mr Graham's suitability for the role, which is to be extended by provisions in the Coroners and Justice Bill going through Parliament. Mr Graham's background clearly provides him with a range of experience indicative of his suitability to be a candidate for the role of Information Commissioner, including familiarity with the regulatory landscape, the development of codes of practice, the potential for judicial review, customer service, assessing compliance, running a large organisation and managing change. In view of the overall challenge facing a new Information Commissioner - an increase of an order of magnitude on what Mr Graham has previously dealt with - the Committee welcomed the opportunity to question him on his view of the priorities and potential approach. The Committee believes the Government should ensure the Commissioner has sufficient resources for its work. The Committee endorses Mr Graham's suitability for appointment as Information Commissioner and his preliminary view of the priorities of the role and its supporting organisation. It looks forward to a continuing dialogue on progress both in protecting people's personal information effectively and sensitively, and in securing implementation of the letter, and the spirit, of the Freedom of Information Act.

This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Final Report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its six-year investigation of the residential school system for Aboriginal youth and the legacy of these schools. This report, the summary volume, includes the history of residential schools, the legacy of that school system, and the full text of the Commission's 94 recommendations for action to address that legacy. This report lays bare a part of Canada's history that until recently was little-known to most non-Aboriginal Canadians. The Commission discusses the logic of the colonization of Canada's territories, and why and how policy and practice developed to end the existence of distinct societies of Aboriginal peoples. Using brief excerpts from the powerful testimony heard from Survivors, this report documents the residential school system which forced children into institutions where they were forbidden to speak their language, required to discard their clothing in favour of institutional wear, given inadequate food, housed in inferior and fire-prone buildings, required to work when they should have been studying, and subjected to emotional, psychological and often physical abuse. In this setting, cruel punishments were all too common, as was sexual abuse. More than 30,000 Survivors have been compensated financially by the Government of Canada for their experiences in residential schools, but the legacy of this experience is ongoing today. This report explains the links to high rates of Aboriginal children being taken from their families, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and high rates of suicide. The report documents the drastic decline in the presence of Aboriginal languages, even as Survivors and others work to maintain their distinctive cultures, traditions, and governance. The report offers 94 calls to action on the part of governments, churches, public institutions and non-Aboriginal Canadians as a path to meaningful reconciliation of Canada today with Aboriginal citizens. Even though the historical experience of residential schools constituted an act of cultural genocide by Canadian government authorities, the United Nation's declaration of the rights of aboriginal peoples and the specific recommendations of the Commission offer a path to move from apology for these events to true reconciliation that can be embraced by all Canadians.

Download or read book HC 734 Current and Future Uses of Biometric Data and Technologies written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Science and Technology and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2015 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its broadest sense, biometrics is the measurement and analysis of a biological characteristic (fingerprints, iris patterns, retinas, face or hand geometry) or a behavioural characteristic (voice, gait or signature). Biometric technologies use these characteristics to identify individuals automatically. Unlike identity documents or passwords, biometrics cannot be lost or forgotten since they are a part of the user and are always present at the time of identification. They are also difficult, though not impossible, to forge or share. Three future trends in the application of biometrics were identified during the inquiry: (i) the growth of unsupervised biometric systems, accessed via mobile devices, which verify identity; (ii) the proliferation of "second-generation" biometric technologies that can authenticate individuals covertly; (iii) and the linking of biometric data with other types of 'big data' as part of efforts to profile individuals. Each of these trends introduces risks and benefits to individuals, to the state and to society as a whole. They also raise important ethical and legal questions relating to privacy and autonomy. The Committee are not convinced that the Government has addressed these questions, nor are they satisfied that it has looked ahead and considered how the risks and benefits of biometrics will be managed and communicated to the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 13, 2003, the Standing Committee tabled its 4th report, a report stating findings and conclusions relating to the Privacy Commissioner, Mr. George Radwanski, and his Office. The central conclusion of that report was that the Committee had ceased to believe that information provided to the Committee by the Privacy Commissioner about his activities was accurate and complete. In addition, The Committee concluded that there was sufficient reason for concern about the financial and human resources practices of the Commissioner to refer these matters to the Auditor General and the Public Service Commission for detailed audits. This report provides a statement of the facts obtained by the Committee, as well as an exposition of the reasoning that led the Committee to the findings and conclusions set out in the 4th report.
