The appellant sought access under the Act to records about the handling of a whistleblower complaint he made to the hospital alleging improper external influences in the hospital’s decision regarding his position at the hospital. The hospital decided to withhold information, in part, denying access to some information on the basis of the discretionary exemptions at sections 13(1) (advice or recommendations) and 19 (solicitor-client privilege). In this order, the adjudicator upholds the hospital’s decision.
