  The Companion Guide to the Statistics Act
Statistics Act is not only the instrument that gives Statistics Canada its authority to collect and obtain information and its obligation to protect the confidentiality of respondents, it is also an embodiment of the history, evolution and culture of the Agency.
Section 15 establishes that when a person employed under the Statistics Act produces a document or an instruction that purports to be a Statistics Canada form or instruction for the purposes of collecting information, it is presumed that the form or instruction has been provided to such a person by the proper authority.
Moreover, under this Act, a government institution can only use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected or for a use consistent with that purpose, unless the individuals involved consent to their information being used for another purpose.
