Claims and Litigation Program
Description of program/activity
The Parks Canada Claims and Litigation Program, rooted in the agency’s early administrative functions, ensures that legal claims involving or brought against the Crown are managed fairly and consistently in line with federal directives and its financial delegation instrument. The program collects personal information from individuals filing claims related to personal injury or property damage in heritage places to support administrative decisions, defend Parks Canada’s interests, and mitigate legal and financial risks.
Why a PIA was completed
Parks Canada may collect personal information in anticipation of legal proceedings or claims involving the Crown, such as incidents related to property damage or personal injury. A PIA is conducted to assess and mitigate privacy risks, ensure compliance with applicable legislation, and uphold public trust in the handling of personal information.
Additional information
The privacy risk associated with the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information to support the effective and efficient resolution of claims and litigation is considered low to negligible. This is primarily due to the limited scope of information collected and the targeted nature of its use. To further mitigate any residual privacy risks, Parks Canada will implement best practices for the management of personal information for the Claims and Litigation Program.
