<div>In our relationships with every part of government, with companies that provide the goods and services we use, and with other members of society in our personal and working lives, accessing information and controlling who has access to it plays an important role, promoting a range of different rights and interests. <i>Information and Privacy Law in Canada</i> explores how we can access information held by public bodies, what governments and other organizations can do with information about us, and how we can use the courts or other mechanisms to hold others accountable when they violate our privacy or misuse our personal information. It examines privacy as a multi-faceted concept that includes control over information about ourselves, but also protection of our identities, our personal space, and even our bodies from unwanted scrutiny and interference. <br>
