This new action plan outlines the ongoing work to build and maintain a strong culture of privacy at Veterans Affairs Canada.
"As Minister of Veterans Affairs, I take very seriously the Department's responsibility to protect the privacy and rights of all Veterans," said Minister Blaney. "Though we have made considerable progress, I remain committed to ensuring our processes meet the highest standards, which is why I requested the development of a new action plan to take us to the next level."

The action items in the original plan have all been completed.

"This next phase of the Privacy Action Plan builds on our accomplishments to date, and provides Veterans with the assurance that our Government is ensuring their private information remains protected," said Minister Blaney.
