Put the brakes on outsourcing British Columbians� personal information

Commissioner's report confirms outsourcing to US-linked companies will put British Columbians' personal and confidential information at risk

29 OCTOBER 2004, VANCOUVER: The B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU) is calling on the Campbell Liberals to hold off on any plans to contract out the administration of the personal and confidential information of British Columbians in wake of the B.C. privacy commissioner's report released today.

"We were right. The privacy commissioner's report confirms the USA Patriot Act is a huge threat to the privacy of British Columbians, and validates the concerns we raised. There's no iron-clad guarantee that the FBI won't or can't access our personal information once it's handed over to American-linked companies," said George Heyman, BCGEU president. more
