Tully was most recently the director of privacy and access to information at Canada Post, and prior to that she was the assistant information and privacy commissioner for British Columbia.

She takes over for Dulcie McCallum, who was terminated from the job in February after serving a seven-year term.

At the time, McCallum said her dismissal was a sign of disrespect for her office, but the government responded by saying it was grateful for her service.
