Within the federal government, who is responsible for making sure government contracts address the issue of personal information being accessed by foreign laws?
• The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) is responsible for coordinating the government’s action plan with respect to risks associated with the handling of personal information under contracts.

TBS is providing guidance and advice regarding privacy and contracting to assist institutions.
