A-2.1 - Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information
Section 8.1
Disposition versions
8.1. Within a public body, a committee on access to information and the protection of personal information is responsible for supporting the body in the exercise of its responsibilities and the performance of its obligations under this Act. The committee shall also exercise the functions entrusted to it by this Act.
The committee is under the responsibility of the person exercising the highest authority within the public body or, in the case of a government department, of the deputy minister and, in the case of a municipality, a professional order or a school service centre, of the director general. It is composed of the person in charge of access to documents, the person in charge of the protection of personal information and any other person whose expertise is required, including, if applicable, the person responsible for information security and the person responsible for document management.
A government regulation may exempt a public body from the obligation to establish such a committee or modify a body’s obligations according to criteria it defines.
