Letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Proposes MFIPPA Amendment
In a letter to the Honourable Ted McMeekin, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Commissioner applauds the ministry for engaging the public and other stakeholders in its review of Ontario’s municipal legislation. Recognizing this process as an opportunity to improve accountability and transparency, he recommends amendments to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) relating to municipal councillors’ records. The proposed amendment would broaden the scope of information accessible under MFIPPA. The Commissioner has offered his continued assistance to the minister and his staff. He also asks that our office be consulted on any reforms that involve new collection, use or disclosure of personal information or personal health information.
