CYFSA Decision 23 Decision Child, Youth, and Family Information and Privacy Jenny Ryu En savoir plusExpand

A mother and her family received services from the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CAST), including in relation to an incident that occurred in 2012. Later, under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017 (CYFSA), the mother asked CAST for information in her CAST file about the incident, which she describes as an assault of one of the children by the children’s father. She specifically seeks any statements made by the children’s father and the children about the incident. The mother complained to the IPC after CAST released a number of records to her but withheld others in part or in full, including on the basis it could not release additional information about other individuals without their consent, or a court order.

During the IPC review, some of the family members consented to the release of their personal information to the mother, and CAST released additional portions of the records on this basis. Two family members did not consent to the release of their personal information to the mother.

In this decision, the adjudicator upholds CAST’s decision to withhold the remaining portions of the records from the mother. These include discrete portions consisting of the personal information of family members who do not consent to its release, which are contained in records that are not dedicated primarily to the provision of services solely to the mother. The withheld portions also contain information that post-dates and does not relate to the incident in question, and so is not responsive to the request. The adjudicator finds that CAST released to the mother all the information to which she is entitled under the CYFSA. The adjudicator dismisses the complaint.

MO-4634 Order Access to Information Orders Diane Smith En savoir plusExpand

The appellant made a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to The Greater/Grand Sudbury Police Services Board for access to police reports about his son’s death from a suspected drug overdose.

The police granted the appellant access to portions of the reports but refused to disclose certain information because disclosure would be an unjustified invasion of personal privacy under the mandatory personal privacy exemption at section 14(1).

In this order, the adjudicator finds that there are compassionate reasons to disclose some of the deceased’s personal information to his father (section 14(4)(c)) and orders the police to disclose that information. She upholds the police’s decision to withhold the remaining information under the personal privacy exemption at section 14(1).

PO-4619 Order Access to Information Orders Valerie Jepson En savoir plusExpand

An individual asked the OPP for the information that it has about him.
The ministry, for the OPP, provided the individual with copies of a significant amount of OPP records, but refused access to some for a variety of reasons (exemptions) in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The ministry also claimed that some of the records (use of force occurrence reports) are unable to be obtained through the access provisions of the Act because of the labour relations and employment exclusion (section 65(6)).
The adjudicator does not accept the ministry’s claim that the use of force occurrence reports are excluded from the Act. However, she finds that they are exempt from disclosure to the appellant under section 49(e) (correctional records).
Regarding the remaining records, the adjudicator orders the ministry to provide the appellant with personal information that is his own or of others who have consented to its disclosure. But, she upholds the ministry’s claim that the remaining information is exempt from disclosure because it is subject to the solicitor-client privilege (section 19), law enforcement (section 14(1)(l)) or personal privacy (section 49(b)) exemptions.

PO-4618 Order Access to Information Orders Chris Anzenberger En savoir plusExpand

The appellant requested records related to an Ontario Provincial Police staffing model. The ministry provided some records, including a PDF version of an Excel spreadsheet. The appellant sought access to the Excel version of the spreadsheet, but the ministry withheld it under the exemption for advice or recommendations at section 13(1).
The adjudicator finds that disclosure of the information in the spreadsheet, regardless of format, would reveal a recommendation within the meaning of section 13(1). He upholds the ministry’s exercise of discretion to disclose the PDF version only and dismisses the appeal.

PO-4617 Order Access to Information Orders Anna Kalinichenko En savoir plusExpand

An individual made a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to the Ministry of the Solicitor General for a police report related to a specified occurrence and any additional information about them in relation to the occurrence. The ministry disclosed to the individual some records. It withheld some information because its disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with a law enforcement matter (section 49(a), read with section 14(1)) and would result in an unjustified invasion of other individuals’ personal privacy (section 49(b)).

In this order, the adjudicator orders the ministry to disclose additional information and otherwise upholds the ministry’s decision.

MO-4633 Order Access to Information Orders Anna Truong En savoir plusExpand

An individual made a request to the Waterloo Regional Police Services Board under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to policies and records related to an investigation about a complaint against a member of the police. The police granted access to the policies but withheld the complaint records because they claim the complaint records are excluded from the Act under the employment or labour relations exclusion (section 52(3)3). The individual believes more records should exist.
In this order, the adjudicator upholds the police’s claim that the labour relations exclusion applies. She also finds that the police conducted a reasonable search for responsive records and dismisses the appeal.

PO-4615 Order Access to Information Orders Chris Anzenberger En savoir plusExpand

The ministry received multiple requests for records related to the death of the appellants’ son. This appeal deals with records about a related breach of trust investigation into a police officer who investigated the death. The ministry initially withheld the majority of the records under the law enforcement exemptions related to an ongoing investigation (sections 14(1)(a), (b), and (f)).

During the inquiry, an individual was charged with the death of the appellants’ son, and the ministry instead claimed the prosecution exclusion for some of the records (section 65(5.2)). The ministry also claimed the exemption at section 49(a), read with section 19 (solicitor-client privilege), and section 49(b) (personal privacy) for portions of other records. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the records are excluded from the Act due to the ongoing prosecution exclusion or otherwise exempt from disclosure under the sections claimed by the ministry. However, he finds that a portion of background information should be disclosed for compassionate reasons, and orders this information to be disclosed.

In this order, the adjudicator finds that disclosure of some of the withheld information would endanger the security of a system and upholds the police’s decision to withhold that information. She orders the police to disclose the remaining information.

CYFSA Decision 22 Decision Child, Youth, and Family Information and Privacy Stella Ball En savoir plusExpand

A joint custodial parent of a four-year-old child asked for records containing his child’s personal information. The children’s aid society denied his request on the basis that, as a parent with joint custody, the complainant requires the consent of the child’s other joint custodial parent to exercise substitute decision-making authority for his son under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.
The adjudicator upholds the decision of the children’s aid society. She finds that, as joint custodial parents, the father and the mother are equally ranked substitute decision-makers for the child under the Act; and without the mother’s consent to the father’s request, the father cannot act as an independent substitute decision-maker to request access to the child’s personal information. The adjudicator also finds that the children’s aid society appropriately considered whether the disclosure provision in section 292(1)(g) of the Act applies to permit disclosure of some information about the child to the complainant. She dismisses the complaint with no order.

MO-4631 Order Access to Information Orders Jennifer Olijnyk En savoir plusExpand

An individual submitted a request to the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation (the housing corporation) under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for the name of an individual involved in a theft. The housing corporation granted partial access to the records, withholding some information.

The housing corporation denied access to an individual’s name and apartment number because disclosure of that information would be an unjustified invasion of that individual’s personal privacy (section 38(b)). In this order, the adjudicator upholds the housing corporation’s decision not to disclose the withheld information and dismisses the appeal.
