Patricia KosseimHOST
So from your perspective, what are the biggest changes municipalities need to understand right now and start getting ready for?

John ElvidgeGUEST
I have the luxury of speaking from the largest municipality in Ontario, and because of the volume that we face both on the access and the privacy side, we're fortunate in that that work has resulted in resources that have allowed us to address those things.

John ElvidgeGUEST
So we have had lots of experience both with the access side, but as well on the PIA side and privacy breach reporting.

John ElvidgeGUEST
Most municipalities have some experience with the access side of the act, and so some of the new provisions in the act are, I'm sure, are gonna be quite welcome.

John ElvidgeGUEST
My perception is it's more on the privacy side that not all institutions have had that experience.
