The Crown also has an obligation to share information: under an agreement or arrangement between the Government of Canada and the council of the Westbank First Nation, the council of a participating First Na- tion as defined in subsection 2(1) of the First Nations Jurisdiction over Education in British Columbia Act, and the council of a participating First Nation as defined in section 2 of the Ani. [...] Sections 13 through 17 establishes the process for getting access to information, including the format of the request, time limits, and the format of the information accessed, including provisions for those with disabilities or requesting documents in the other official language. [...] The final section of the Act, the schedule, lists the various government institutions to which the Act applies. [...] Much of the First Nation data and information held by the Crown is not personal information as defined in the Privacy Act, and thus much of it is open to the public via the Access to Information Act. [...] There are even examples of when the Crown has profited from the sale of First Nations data to the private sector.3 Finally, the federal government regularly uses the provisions of the Privacy Act to deny First Nations access to personal information held by the federal government.
