The City of Ottawa (the city) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The city asked for clarification about what was meant by the wording in the request, but did not receive clarification from the requester. On appeal, during mediation, the city offered a re-formulation of the request, based on what it believed the requester could be asking for. The requester rejected this offer, and asked that his file be moved to adjudication. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the appellant’s representations do not establish that he assisted the city with clarifying or confirming the scope of his request. As a result, she dismisses the appeal.
