The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed for the e-passport project of Passport Canada to evaluate compliance of the project with privacy requirements, as stated in the Privacy Act and other relevant legislation and policies. The assessment was preceded by the submission of a draft PIA Executive Summary with the initial e-Passport Treasury Board Submission for Preliminary Project Approval in June 2005. Although the project has not yet started, this Executive Summary reflects Passport Canada (PPTC)’s assessment of the privacy risks associated with the e-Passport project and outlines the steps to mitigate them.
