To add to introduction header:

A government institution can refuse requests for access to personal information in four cases :


 * The request interferes with the responsibilities of the government, such as national defense and law enforcement investigations (sections 19-25)
 * The request contains the personal information of someone other than the individual who made the request (section 26).
 * The request is subject to solicitor-client privilege (section 27).
 * A request for an individual's own medical records can be rejected if there is no benefit to the individual in reading it (section 28).

History
The first privacy law in Canada was enacted in 1977 in part four of the Canadian Human Rights Act by creating the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, which would be responsible for investigating privacy violation complaints by members of the public and reporting to lawmakers. During the 32nd Parliament in 1983, Bill C-43 was passed. This legislation created the Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act, separate from the Canadian Human Rights Act.
