DISCLOSURES MADE WITH NO CONSENT REQUIRED

The Delegation table http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/department/organization/atip/privacy-report-2007-2008 indicates who has the authority to discloses these information. So if you believe that some were disclosed you just need to do an ATIP to the appropriate person. In any case I would still do a general ATIP for article 8 (2) to the Deputy Minister and ATIP coordinator. For any advise please send a PM.
