Mr. Speaker, your Standing Committee on Government Operations is pleased to provide its report on the review of the 20192020 Annual Report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner and recommends to the House.

The Standing Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of the 20192020 Annual Report of the Information Privacy Commissioner.

The Standing Committee on Government Operations has reviewed the 20192020 Annual Report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. The committee normally reviews the Commissioner's report and then makes recommendations to the Legislative Assembly. This year's report contained no recommendations on the effectiveness on the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act for the committee's consideration.

The Committee thanks Mrs. KeenanBengts for her long service as Information and Privacy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. Mrs. KeenanBengts served in this position from 1997 until 2020 and prepared the 20192020 annual report. The committee welcomes Mr. Andrew Fox, who was appointed on November 23rd, 2020, as the Information and Privacy Commissioner. Committee members look forward to working with Mr. Fox in his new role.
