This is the third year of implementation of the SCIDA regime. This year, NSIRA decided to focus the review on Global Affairs Canada\u2019s (GAC) proactive disclosures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SCIDA encourages and facilitates the disclosure of information between federal institutions to protect Canada against activities that undermine or threaten national security, subject to certain conditions. The SCIDA provides a two-part threshold which must be met prior to making a disclosure: that the information will contribute to the exercise of the recipient institution\u2019s jurisdiction or responsibilities in respect of activities that undermine the security of Canada,&nbsp; and will not affect any person\u2019s privacy interest more than reasonably necessary in the circumstances.&nbsp; The SCIDA also includes provisions and guiding principles related to the management of disclosures, including accuracy and reliability statements and record keeping obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2200,"parent":4478,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-nsira-subpages.php","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[19,24,28],"tags":[47,84,83,78,77,90,79,82,80,89,87,74,85,91],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 -
