The Commissioner is on the case of leaked lawyer's personal information

From a report in the Edmonton Sun, it appears that the Federal Privacy Commissioner is -- personally -- investigating how an imprisoned criminal in the United States obtained very personal information about an Edmonton lawyer:

Privacy boss to probe how con got confidential info:

"The federal privacy commissioner is coming to Edmonton to probe RCMP records in an effort to determine how a city lawyer's personal information ended up in the U.S. jail cell of a convicted skinhead. But criminal defence lawyer Tom Engel has also come up with some of his own theories about how his personal information - and that of his partner, their wives and four legal assistants - got into the jail cell of skinhead Daniel Sims. "

I'd be very surpised if Jennifer Stoddart is putting on her trenchcoat and digging out her magnifying glass to investigate this personally, but that's what it sounds like.
