This process may include some informal recommendations from the IPC. • If the breach is egregious or it involves a large number of affected individuals, the Commissioner may determine that a report will be issued. • If an affected individual makes a formal complaint, the Commissioner may determine that a report will be issued. • If the Commissioner is not satisfied with the government institution’s response or handling of the breach, the IPC will issue a report. Once the IPC has made a decision, the government institution will be advised if a report will be issued or not. The government institution will also be notified if an affected individual makes a formal complaint, which may also result in a public report.741 If you have questions or need further guidance, contact the SK OIPC at intake@oipc.sk.ca.
