report it to a manager, it's against the law so stay out of it, either you will lose your job or worse, hope that helps all the best.

It isn't a criminal offence in Canada to tell someone a password.
If a person hacks into your computer and messes with your information/files, that is called "mishchief to data" and is a criminal offence.
The provider may be civily liable if your privacy has been compromised in some way by the sharing of the passwords.

Who is the provider? An employee? Your DSL company? What?
If it's an employee, they probably didn't break any laws. But they can fired and there can be sued if any damage to a company was done by them doing they. They are also be criminally charged if it's shown that they gave out the passwords to help the commission of a crime.

Its a work provided email for work only uses
so no. as you shouldnt have personal information on there, and as the company own the information that should be on there.
so they arent breaking data protection laws
you could always file a civil suit but dont know how far that would go

You can change the initial passwords given by the service provider.You must have stated in the initial agreement with the service provider that password will not be divulged to other parties.

Your employer is entitled to know what you are doing with his computer and his company information. Anything in that category should be open to his perusal Anything of a private nature (yours) should be on your computer and protected by your private password.

Report it to the person in the company who is responsible for the IT system & its security. And change your passwords.

Beat him with a dead squirrel.
Swing it by the tail.
You're allowed to sharpen its claws so that it scratches his face.
