Veterans Affairs Privacy Issues
In October 2010, Canada’s Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart uncovered evidence that widespread privacy abuses had been occurring at Veterans Affairs Canada. Among the cases where privacy issues were investigated is that in which highly personal information of an outspoken critic of Veterans Affairs, including confidential medical and financial information, was included in briefing notes prepared for then-minister Greg Thompson.
Darragh Mogan, an executive director at Veterans Affairs wrote an e-mail to his colleagues in 2006 claiming that the same Gulf War veteran was spreading misinformation to the public and wrote: "Folks, it’s time to take the gloves off here”
