Immediately after receiving the MMAR mailout i was offended. I knew without a doubt this was a breach of my privacy and a risk to my safety.
I then submitted a claim to the Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.
I received a update from the Privacy Commissioner of Canada on March 6th 2015.
Although it states only 339 of the 41,514 patients submitted complaints im glad im one of them.
The file goes back and foreth as if it were a dialogue. The OPC questioning HCs acts of how and why they did this. Its full of the common HC excuses. This is the best one "Well if we didnt label it correctly the patient wouldnt know it was coming from a Governing body and may not view it as important"although for more then a decade prior and tens of thousands of mailouts prior they used a address locator.
Although HC has appologized publicly they are still trying to protect themselves.
The OPC put alot of effort into this, the paper itself is of official quality. I would compare it to a thicker, older version of Canadian currency. Even got enough respect for a pen sgnature and not a stamp.
With all that aside. The OPC has investigated the incident and they have concluded that the matter of the 339 complaints is;
WELL-FOUNDED
