SASKATOON—Saskatchewan’s privacy commissioner says he feels vindicated after a court decision involving a doctor who inappropriately examined health records of Humboldt Broncos team members who were in a deadly bus crash.

In February, commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski determined eight people, mostly doctors, had snooped on the electronic health files of 10 people.
