I just wanted to add that the producer is probably referring to this law:
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
http://www.privcom.gc.ca/legislation/02_06_01_e.asp
It does allow for the release of their information, but each model would need to sign an ammendment to their 2257's which allows this. They can only release the 2257 information if the models requested it and I'm willing to bet that the content producers didn't have that additional information attached. Quite a few producers have ammended their releases for Canadian productions to allow this but the PIPEDA is a rather new law here still.
