Privacy Commissioner Michael Harvey has stepped away from further involvement in his office’s investigation into the 2021 cyber attack on the health care system.
Harvey is a former assistant deputy minister of health and was on the board of the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information before being appointed as Privacy Commissioner. Hogan says government wants the investigation to go ahead, but they want the issue clarified in the courts before proceeding further.
Harvey rejects the claims of apprehension bias against him, noting that he is surprised to find the matter raised at this juncture—more than one year into the investigation, considering his former roles were “well known” to all parties from the start.
