Can personal information be disclosed to the Human Resources Development Canada if they inquire about an employee?
YES, Section 40(1)(e) allows for disclosure to comply with another Act, and the Unemployment Insurance Act provides authority to collect information for administration of the Act. Discretion should be exercised to ensure that only relevant personal information is disclosed. The requester should be asked to supply proof of identity and authority for requesting the information. It would be very rare to disclose an entire file in such circumstances.
