Statement from NDP Education spokesperson on education data breach

HALIFAXHalifax -NDP spokesperson for Education Claudia Chender made the following statement in response to today’s privacy breach of the Halifax Regional Centre for Education’s registration system:

“Today’s breach is another upsetting sign that the Liberal government is not doing enough to ensure the public’s private information is secure when accessing government services.

The Minister of Education and this government need to step up and explain how something like this could happen.

Nova Scotians trust the government with a great deal of personal information – we need to know that information is being protected in the most secure way possible.”
