Explanatory Note

In a July 2012 report, the Manitoba Ombudsman commented that The Personal Health Information Act does not make it an offence for a person to gain unauthorized access to another person's personal health information. This Bill creates such an offence.

The Bill also makes it an offence to falsify another person's personal health information.
