    Michael Harvey has given notice of his resignation, effective May 5th.

    The province’s Privacy Commissioner is leaving to do the same job in British Columbia. Michael Harvey has given notice of his resignation, effective May 5th. The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia has passed a motion recommending Harvey’s appointment as Information and Privacy Commissioner for that province, effective May 6th. Commissioner Harvey was appointed to a six year term as Information and Privacy Commissioner on August 5, 2019. He first joined the Newfoundland and Labrador public service on January 3, 2006. He says “It has been a great privilege to serve as Information and Privacy Commissioner for Newfoundland and Labrador since 2019,” and that he has “enjoyed the honour of serving people of this province, which he says will always be his home, as a public servant for almost two decades.”
