<new, improved bug killer...>

Sorry if what I'm about to say has already been discussed before
but I haven't read this group for a while.

What I would like to know is what (legal) rights do employees have
to gain access of any kind to their *own* files in the personnel
department of the company they are working for ?
I don't want to start a discussion on what rights an employee should
have but just factual info on the current state of the law.
Having said that, there may not be any laws at all regarding this
subject, that's what I'm trying to find out.
I should mention that I'm mostly concerned with the law as it 
stands in Canada, however I would be more than happy to here info
on the law in other countries.

Please respond via mail or feel free to post to the net if you 
feel it warrants it.

thanks in advance,

                cheers,
                          Scott Pace, Micom Co., Montreal
