Metrolinx received a six-part request under the Act for records relating to the Hurontario Light Rail Transit system. It issued a decision denying access, in full, to the records responsive to part 1 of the request, relying on section 14(1)(i) (security) of the Act . Metrolinx stated that there are no records responsive to the other parts of the request. At mediation, the issue of whether Metrolinx conducted a reasonable search for responsive records was added to the scope of the appeal. In this decision, the adjudicator upholds Metrolinx’s decision to withhold the records under section 14(1)(i). She finds, however, that Metrolinx’s search was not reasonable and orders it to conduct a further search for responsive records.
