It is important to note that this privacy assessment assessed personal information collected from the employees of the Department to provide access to the employees to the Departmental network infrastructure and its associated tools and programs. The DFAIT Network Infrastructure consists of MITNET, which is the physical layer as well as low level networking protocols; SIGNET–D, which is the operating layer of the network including higher level networking protocols; and finally the Email system.

DFAIT also developed a PIA for Info Bank. Since Info Bank is very similar in nature to the RDIMS, the PIA was limited in focus to identifying any potential risks associated with the differences between DFAIT’s Info Bank and the TBS RDIMS PPIA.

The system is owned, configured and supported by the Corporate Financial Systems Division (SMSF) and the technical management is under the authority of the Corporate Enterprise Solutions Division.

IMS is classified as a critical application to support program activities for the processing of accounts payable and fund transfers and is therefore subject to Management of Information Technology Security (MITS) compliance, which implies a Preliminary Privacy Impact Assessment (PPIA). Furthermore, since the inception of the Privacy Impact Assessment Policy in May 2002, a PPIA had not been conducted and it was now paramount to complete it to fulfill both MITS and PIA policy requirements.

Clean Fuel Regulations - Credit Market Reporting

The Clean Fuel Regulations (the Regulations) are an important part of Canada’s climate plan to reduce emissions, accelerate the use of clean technologies and fuels, and support sustainable jobs in a diversified economy. The Regulations require producers and importers of fossil gasoline and diesel fuel to reduce the life cycle carbon intensity (CI) of the gasoline and diesel fuel they produce and import for use in Canada by an increasingly stringent amount each year, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A life cycle approach is used to account for emissions across all stages of the fuel’s production and use, from crude extraction through processing, distribution, and end use. Carbon intensity reduction and volumetric requirements took effect on July 1, 2023. 
The Clean Fuel Regulations establish a compliance credit market whereby the annual carbon intensity reduction requirements are met through the creation and acquisition of compliance credits, from actions taken in any of the following three categories: 
•	Compliance Category 1 –projects that reduce the life cycle carbon intensity of liquid fossil fuels (e.g. carbon capture and storage, use of low-CI electricity)
•	Compliance Category 2 – production and import of low-CI fuels for use in Canada (e.g. ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel), and
•	Compliance Category 3 – supply of fuel or energy to advanced vehicle technology (e.g. electricity or hydrogen in vehicles).
Compliance credits are created under compliance categories 1 and 3 (e.g. hydrogen fuelling and EV charging) annually on April 30 with the submission of the Annual Credit Creation Report. Compliance credits are created quarterly under compliance category 2 for low-CI fuels produced and imported and under category 3 for fuelling vehicles with renewable propane or renewable natural gas, occurring within the 3 months that follow the end of each quarter, i.e. before:
•	June 30 for volumes produced and imported from January 1 to March 31 (Q1)
•	September 30 for volumes produced and imported from April 1 to June 30 (Q2)
•	December 31 for volumes produced and imported from July 1 to September 30 (Q3), and
•	March 31 for volumes produced and imported from October 1 to December 31 (Q4).

After an administrative investigation is conducted, a report is provided to senior management with the facts of the case, including what weaknesses led to the loss and what controls are recommended to mitigate future risks. This report is then taken into consideration in management's decision to impose administrative and/or disciplinary measures.
