No. The IPC doesn't make sure information is provided. They make sure that information that is private doesn't get released. Sorta the opposite.

The IPC is the place you go if you...say you signed a release to have the last 2 years of your medical records sent to a lawyer. If the doctor released 5 years instead of 2, you could appeal to the IPC and have them apply the provisions in the act and penalize the doctor.

before the IPC was around (they have only existed since Jan 2004) you had no one in the government to turn to if your privacy was violated. now you can complain to the IPC and the investigate and lay charges in cases of privacy violation.

Basically, the IPC takes complaints and tries to fix them. They will not look for info for you.

I request stuff all the time, and you almost never get a response. You either get the info or you don't. Most of the time you do, but it can take a LONG TIME. I requested some police files, took them 7 months to even call me about it.
