Old Age Security Act

Version of section 33.07 from 2003-01-01 to 2013-02-28:


Marginal note:Where Minister may permit information to be made available

  •  (1) Despite sections 33.01 to 33.06, information may be made available if, in the Minister’s opinion, the public interest in disclosure clearly outweighs any invasion of privacy that could result from the disclosure or that permitting the information to be made available would clearly benefit the individual to whom the information relates.

  • Marginal note:Notice of disclosure

    (2) The Minister shall, in writing, notify the Privacy Commissioner appointed under section 53 of the Privacy Act of any disclosure of personal information under subsection (1) before the disclosure if reasonably practicable or, in any other case, without delay on the disclosure, and the Privacy Commissioner may, if the Commissioner deems it appropriate, notify the individual to whom the information relates of the disclosure.
