RCMP “act as if" Bili 50 applied to them.

Do not cover private care facilities, except to the extent that
their records are in the custody or under the control of other
public bodies which are covered by the legislation (e.g.,
Ministry of Health).

regulation to the Act.

public from private sector bodies for those institutions not

included in the recommended core coverage.
