Provincial privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham is "perplexed" by Crown counsel's decision to take City councillor Brian Skakun to court when he leaked confidential documents to the media rather than turn to her office to deal with the issue.
Denham said Wednesday her office would have saved the parties involved both time and money had they turned to her to deal with the matter although parties can hire lawyers to represent them.
"We are an expert tribunal and we're here to resolve disputes between parties around privacy interests and privacy matters, that's what we're here to do," Denham said.
